This work is about a new design of an Alveolar Distractor with the purpose of offer to a
patient more treatments alternatives. We have received many patients at the hospital level …

This paper presents an innovation of a curved alveolar bone distractor used mainly to
augment defects in the anterior regions of the dental arch. It is designed to be a bone …

Distractor devices are implanted temporarily in the bony structure in order to regenerate the
bone tissue required and then be removed from the distraction site at the end of the …

Discussion With the presented technique, obtaining a larger amount of new bone for
reconstruction of the alveolus was possible. This can be realized by use of a modular …

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the patient's perception of the events during
and after an osteogenic alveolar distraction (OAD) procedure Materials and Methods: A total …

Callus distraction has become an accepted way of elongating tubular bones since it was first
described by Codivilla in 1905. 1 It has mainly been used in orthopaedic surgery to elongate …

Background: Atrophic alveolar bone presents a unique difficulty, preventing correct implant
placement and affecting long-term results. Different techniques are recommended to restore …

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the horizontal and the vertical
alveolar distraction osteogenesis using modified alveolar distractor. Materials and Methods …

Further to the compendium series of devices for distraction osteogenesis on cranio-
maxillofacial region, this paper will focus on distractor devices for the dentoalveolus …

Results Twenty-three answers (74.2% of operated cases) were studied. In 87% of the cases,
patients adjusted well the distraction procedure. Eighty-one percent felt no stress. Fifty …
