| Abstract:
|
Distraction osteogenesis is a surgical dental procedure performed to initiate new bone growth in the maxillofacial region. The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and awareness about distraction osteogenesis among dental students. A custom made questionnaire comprising 10 questions, 6 questions relating to knowledge and 4 questions regarding awareness about distraction osteogenesis were formulated and circulated among 100 undergraduate dental students. The responses were then subjected to statistical analysis. Frequency distribution and percentage were calculated for all the responses. The present study suggests that among undergraduate dental students, however there was knowledge and awareness regarding the term and the technique of distraction osteogenesis, still the knowledge about its indications were inadequate.
