Abstract in Portuguese
A expansão craniana com o uso de molas tem demonstrado eficácia no tratamento das anormalidades craniofaciais, tais como as craniossinostoses. A ação expansora exercida pelas molas tem sido observada tanto quando colocadas entre as margens parietais dos ossos do crânio, como quando lateralmente à sutura sagital, principalmente nas escafocefalias. No presente estudo foi criado um modelo experimental com coelhos, e feita uma avaliação descritiva do comportamento da calota craniana e das suturas sob ação de molas. Foram utilizados 13 coelhos Nova Zelândia com quatro semanas de vida, divididos em quatro grupos: grupo I, foram implantados no crânio marcadores de amálgama para controle; no grupo II, marcadores de amálgama e osteotomia da sutura sagital; no grupo III, marcadores de amálgama, osteotomia da sutura sagital e colocação de uma mola expansora na região interparietal e, no grupo IV, marcadores de amálgama, craniotomia parassagital linear com colocação da mola. Os animais foram sacrificados com duas, quatro, oito e doze semanas. Foi realizado controle radiológico com avaliação do afastamento dos marcadores de amálgama, da variação dos ângulos cefalométricos e das medidas da base do crânio, bem como um estudo histopatológico da região de colocação das molas. Nos grupos com o uso de molas a separação dos bordos da craniotomia foi maior do que naqueles sem a utilização de mola. Houve ossificação em todos os grupos, com maior rapidez no grupo II. O crescimento ósseo deu-se a partir dos bordos e da profundidade. Não foram observadas diferenças significativas no padrão histopatológico da regeneração óssea entre os grupos com colocação de mola na região interparietal e parassagital. O modelo experimental com coelhos se mostrou adequado às análises propostas pelo estudo. Concluiu-se que houve osteogênese por distração nos grupos III e IV e que apresentaram uma expansão craniana semelhantes.

Abstract in English
Spring-mediated skull expansion has proven to be effective in the treatment of craniofacial abnormalities, such as craniosynostosis. The use of springs in cranial expansion has been studied both in the sagittal and in parasagittal regions, especially in scaphocephaly. A rabbit model was used in the present study to analyze the effects of springs on the cranial vault and sutures. Thirteen 4-week-old New Zealand rabbits were used and divided into 4 groups: group I, amalgam markers were used as control; in group II, amalgam markers and osteotomy of the sagittal suture; in group III, amalgam markers and osteotomy of the sagittal suture with implant of an expansible spring in the interparietal region and in group IV, amalgam markers and linear parasagittal craniectomy with springs. Animals were sacrificed after 2, 4 and 12 weeks. Radiological control with assessment of the amalgam markers, variation of cephalometric angles and cranial base measurements, as well as the histopathological analysis of the spring implant area were carried out. In the groups using springs distraction of the craniectomy borders was greater than in those that did not use springs. Ossification was observed in all of the groups and was faster in group II. Bone growth started from the borders and depth. There were no significant differences in the histopathological pattern of bone regeneration between the groups with spring implant in the interparietal and parasagittal region. The rabbit model proved to be adequate for the analysis proposed by the study. It was concluded that there was osteogenesis caused by distraction in groups III and IV, with similar skull expansion rates.
