Alveolar Distraction Osteogenesis: A New Modality for the Alveolar Augmentation

Somjet Phaisri

Alveolar distraction osteogenesis(DO) is a new modality to becoming the treatment of choice for the surgical correction of hypoplasias of the alveolar bone region. Its defined as the creation of neoformed bone and adjacent soft tissue after the gradual and controlled displacement of a bone fragment obtained by surgical osteotomy, thus it was completely eliminate to problem about deficient soft tissue surrounding matrix. This technique is less invasive and timeintensive and has a significantly decreased morbidity rate compared with traditional methods of alveolar bone augmentation.This article is to summarize the information on DO, thus contributing to its study, development, and application in alveolar bone region.
