Inter-dental distraction osteogenesis before bone grafting for alveolar cleft: one case report

Abstract

Abstract: In patients with alveolar cleft, when both sides of the cleft are overlapped, dislocated or vertically displaced, it is hard for surgeons to achieve success in bone grafting. Inter-dental distraction osteogenesis is effective in narrowing wider alveolar cleft with new bone as well as obtaining soft tissues. It provides a brand new way assisting alveolar cleft treatment. As regard to the design, individual device is recommended for each patient according to the real complexity of the clefts. Apart from the distraction direction, surgeons should also consider the efficiency of the force and the comfort of the distractor.

Key words: Alveolar cleft, Inter-dental distraction osteogenesis, Bone-tooth borne distractor, Bone grafting
