Overview
In great number of cases, osteodistraction replaces transfer of bone implantswhen adjusting bone defects of the alveolus. This above method is more efficient than augmentationwith nonresorbable materials. Though we did a limited number of vertical distractionsof mandible bone defects by now, the bone volume acquired by this method on the spot of thedefect made it possible to us either to integrate dental implants or to create a good denturebearing area after adjusting soft tissues.
Key words:
