Alveolar distraction osteogenesis effectively increased vertical bone height for dental prostheses. This reliable technique aids in regenerating bone for future implant placement.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Regenerative Medicine
- Dental Implantology
Background:
- Alveolar ridge deficiency is common in patients seeking dental prostheses.
- Alveolar distraction osteogenesis is a treatment option for ridge augmentation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of alveolar distraction osteogenesis for vertical alveolar ridge augmentation.
Main Methods:
- Ten patients with deficient alveolar ridges underwent augmentation using custom-made distraction devices.
- The devices were indigenously manufactured from SS-316.
Main Results:
- Vertical bone gain exceeded 10mm without bone grafting.
- Complications included incorrect distraction vector, paresthesia, pain, and segment loss.
Conclusions:
- Alveolar vertical distraction osteogenesis is a predictable technique for hard and soft tissue regeneration.
- Implant placement with primary stability is achievable in the regenerated bone.
