Abstract:
Alveolar bone distraction is a technique used to restore vertical defects in the edentulous alveolar ridge. The gradual growth of bone tissue has a predictable result, allowing the placement of an osseointegrated implant in an ideal position. In this study, the effectiveness of the alveolar distraction technique was verified, using an extraosseous device. The bone augmentation average was 9.5 mm in 40 patients, showing a 92.5% success rate.
