“…A horizontal osteotomy is made about 5 mm inferior to the apices of the teeth. 5 Generally, 40 mm is considered an acceptable value for maximum mouth opening capacity. 23 One patient in the DO group and two patients in the control group were below this level.…”

“…The DO group consisted of 19 patients (mean age 35.2 years, range 17.8-58.8 years) who had orthodontic treatment in combination with DO of the anterior mandibular alveolar process as described by Triaca et al 5 No additional mandibular surgery (genioplasty, BSSO) was performed. In 16 patients, the osteotomy for the DO was between the lower canine and first premolar, and in the remaining 3 patients it was between lower lateral and canine.…”

“…2 In 1972 Snyder et al 3 applied the technique of DO to lengthen a canine mandible and in 1989 the first human mandibular distraction was performed by McCarthy et al 4 Segmental intra-alveolar DO of the anterior mandibular alveolar process was first introduced by Triaca et al 5 The goal was the creation of space and to reduce anterior crowding of the mandibular arch as a result of distraction of the anterior mandibular alveolar process. Segmental alveolar DO is an alternative to extraction orthodontic therapy which can often cause a compromised facial profile, dental stripping, or mandibular arch expansion to resolve dental crowding and its high risk of periodontal problems, such as root exposure.…”

“…In skeletal Class III patients the anterior mandibular dentition could be decompensated and the sagittal step for further orthognathic surgery (Le Fort I surgery) increased. 5,6 Recently, changes in skeletal stability, and soft tissue profile were analysed after DO of the anterior alveolar process. 7,8 Besides the clinical benefits of DO, complications such as neurosensory disturbances of the inferior alveolar nerve are possible.…”

Clinical Study Orthognathic SurgeryNeurosensory and functional evaluation in distraction osteogenesis of the anterior mandibular alveolar process Abstract. Neurosensory status and craniomandibular function of 19 patients (mean age 35.2 years, range 17.8-58.8 years) treated by combined surgical orthodontic treatment with distraction osteogenesis of the mandibular anterior alveolar process (DO group) was compared with that in 41 orthodontically treated patients (mean age 22.9 years, range 15.1-49.0 years; control group). Clinical examination took place on average 5.9 years (DO group) and 5.4 years (control group) after treatment ended. Neurosensory status was determined by two-point discrimination (2-pd) and the pointed and blunt test. Lateral cephalograms evaluated advancement of the mandibular alveolar process and possible relapse. There was no significant difference in craniomandibular function and neurosensory status between the groups. Age was significantly correlated with 2-pd at the lips (DO: p = 0.01, R = 0.575; control group: p = 0.039, R = 0.324) and chin (DO: p = 0.029, R = 0.501; control group: p = 0.008, R = 0.410). Younger patients had smaller 2-pd values. Gender, age, the amount of advancement, and relapse at point B or incision inferior show no correlation with craniomandibular function and neurosensory impairment. DO of the mandibular anterior alveolar process is a valuable and safe method with minor side effects regarding neurosensory impairment.

An appropriate bony situation is essential for dental implant placement and bony support of soft tissues (pink esthetic). Loss of teeth often results in complex horizontal and vertical alveolar ridge defects. They demand advanced bone augmentation techniques for reconstruction. We present the different techniques and materials used in complex bone augmentation. Clinical cases show the application of the methods in the clinical setting. We present current techniques and materials used in complex bone augmentations. Clinical cases show the application of the methods in the clinical setting. Applied techniques include stabilized-guided bone regeneration (GBR), autologous local block augmentation, modified techniques such as Gellrich shell technique including piezosurgery, pelvic bone blocks, complex materials such as graft-derived bone blocks and their unique handling problems. Successful basic principles are reduction of cortical bone healing due to long remodeling time and possible late loss; extended application of materials with interconnecting porous system and particulate material resulting in fast healing analogous to cancellous bone; mechanical stabilization of the augmentation to allow bony healing in vertical defect situations. GBR and autologous bone blocks with minimal cortical thickness and a high volume of particulated material are most favorable techniques.
