osteotomy gap in response to tension stresses placed across the bone gap .Transport distraction
osteogenesis is an unconventional reconstructive modality in the armamentarium of a maxillofacial
reconstructive surgeon with obvious advantages of osteogenesis and histogenesis from the residual host
tissues after tumor ablative surgeries or trauma and also precludes donor site morbidity .
This paper renunciates that the procedure of Transport bone distraction Osteogenesis of mandibular
