Initial experiences using a new implant based distraction system for alveolar ridge augmentation.
With this case report we demonstrate a new technique useful in augmenting alveolar ridges after resection procedures or atrophic loss of volume. The augmentation is done by means of a new osteogenic distractor (manufactured by ACE Surgical Supply Co., Inc., Brockton, MA, USA), the distraction procedure is according to Ilizarov's principles.
