Many traditional orthognathic surgical techniques are being replaced with Distraction Osteogenesis (DO) in the maxillofacial bones. This review includes recent research on the biology and biomechanical foundation of DO, as well as its benefits and drawbacks, and also unique concerns for maxillofacial distraction. The osteogenesis of intraoral mandibular distraction, maxillary and midfacial distraction, and alveolar distraction are all covered. Sutural expansion/maxillary protraction osteogenesis and orthodontically stimulated periodontal osteogenesis, which are similar to physeal osteogenesis, are also discussed in this review. Improved knowledge of the bio-molecular processes that drives DO might lead to the development of tailored treatment that utilises molecular mediators, growth factors, or stem cells to boost bone regeneration efficiency and quality in the near future.
