In this study the literature dealing with experimental cranio-facial distraction osteogenesis (DO) was reviewed. A PUBMED search (National Library of Medicine [NCBI] revised 1 April 2001) from 1966 through December 2000 was conducted. Key words used in the search were: distraction, lengthening. mandible, mandibular, maxilla, maxillary, midface, midfacial, monobloc, cranial, cranio-facial, maxillofacial. This search revealed a total of 120 experiment-orientated articles that were all analyzed in detail in this study. The purpose of the experimental study, animal model, animal growth status, type Of distraction, type of surgery, distraction rate and rhythm, latency and contention period, amount of lengthening. relapse, complications and nature of the distraction device were analyzed, This review revealed that a total of 1207 animals were used in seven different animal models for research on cranio-facial DO: 54 using dogs (45.0%), 25 using rabbits (20.8%), 18 using sheep (15.0%) 11 using minipig (9.2%), seven using monkeys (5.8%), four using rats (3.3%,) and one using a cat model (0.8%). Based on the results of this study, an attempt was made to provide biological DO parameters and guidelines for future research on experimental cranio-facial DO related to the appropriate animal model.
