Abstract
- Successful alveolar ridge augmentation by distraction osteogenesis method has been reported previously. There are several types of devices for alveolar ridge augmentation. In this paper, a new intraoral distraction device was used on the severe atrophic mandible in order to distract an alveolar ridge vertically in 5 patients.Mean amount of distracted alveolar ridge was 7.4mm (5~9.5mm).Dental implants were placed in the distracted alveolar bone and good osseointegration was obtained in all patients.Mean follow up period is 2years 6months (7months~4years 9months). No complications, such as infection or resorption was observed in all patients.Alveolar ridge augmentation by gradual distraction seems to be a safe, simple and reliable procedure.
