| Summary: | Introduction: Compromised alveolar ridge in vertical and
horizontal dimension is a common finding in patients visiting
practitioners for dental prosthesis. Various treatment modalities
are available for correction of deficient ridges among which
alveolar distraction osteogenesis is one.
Aim: To study the efficacy of alveolar distraction osteogenesis in
augmentation of alveolar ridges deficient in vertical dimension.
Materials and Methods: Ten patients aged 16 to 46 years
with deficient alveolar ridge underwent ridge augmentation
in 11 alveolar segments using the distraction osteogenesis
method. For each patient a custom made distraction device
was fabricated. The device was indigenously manufactured
with SS-316 (ISO 3506).
Results: The vertical bone gain reached more than 10mm
without the use of bone transplantation. Certain complications
like incorrect vector of distraction, paresthesia, pain and loss
of transport segment were encountered during the course of
the study.
Conclusion: Alveolar vertical distraction osteogenesis is a
reliable and predictable technique for both hard and soft tissue
genesis. Implant placement is feasible with primary stability in
neogenerated bone at the level of the distracted areas. |
