“…These methods can greatly assist the operator in achieving the goal of symmetrical reconstruction. Robinoy et al [12] have listed several means of obtaining alveolar segment vector control like orthodontic mechanisms, splints, molding the regenerate and performing an osteotomy. The transport segment in our case on the right side expressed palatal-sagittal deviation which required a vector guiding splint to mold the regenerate.…”

“…Therefore, stabilization of the transport segments was made with a titanium midfacial plate and bone grafting in the intervening area between the two transported segments. More and more studies [9,12] consider that compression osteosynthesis may be an effective method to resolve the question. However since in our case the gap between the transport segments were 5-6 mm, iliac crest cancellous graft was harvested and grafted in the intervening site.…”

Rehabilitation of segmental defects of maxilla presents a reconstructive challenge to obtain an ideal osseous form and height with adequate soft tissue investment. Though variety of prosthetic and surgical reconstructive options like the use of vascularized and non vascularized bone grafts are available they produce less than optimal results. Bone transport distraction is a reliable procedure in various maxillofacial bony defect reconstruction techniques. We describe herein a technique of maxillary bone transport distraction using an indigenously designed, custom made trifocal transport distractor performed in a post traumatic avulsive defect of the anterior maxilla. Transport distraction was successful for anterior maxillary alveolar bony regeneration, with excellent soft tissue cover and vestibular depth, which also helped close an oroantral/oronasal fistula.

“…In recent times, bone distraction has become popular for the treatment of patients with cleft lip and / or palate, hemifacial microsomia, and syndromic craniosynostosis [23][24][25] . This technique can also be applied to alveolar ridge augmentation, to facilitate the placement of dental implants 26,27 . Several groups have reported on the treatment of an ankylosed central incisor using a distraction osteogenesis technique [28][29][30] .…”

IntroductionBoth genetic and environmental factors are involved in tooth eruption, disturbances of which can occur at any stage of development 1 . Defective eruption has been linked to cysts, other teeth, bone features, unfavorable tongue posture, and a digital habit 2 . Although any tooth of the human dentition can remain un-erupted or become impacted 3 , there have been few reports 4-6 of the mandibular rst, second and third molars impacting together, and the cases all involved adolescents. We describe the case of a 29-year-old female with primary failure of tooth eruption and rare clinical features. Case ReportThe patient was a 29-year-old female with mandibular deformity and chewing dysfunc- We report the case of a 29-year-old female patient who presented with primary failure of tooth eruption and mandibular deformity. The patient, who had no family history of tooth eruption failure, presented with impactions of the mandibular left molars. We discuss the clinical and radiographic features of this patient and describe the limitations of treatment for patients with eruption failure.

“…Estos aditamentos proveen un vector de movimiento unidireccional, por lo que la alineación en los 3 planos del espacio del segmento se dificulta, haciendo que el resultado funcional y estético se pueda ver comprometido [31,37]. Para prevenir esta situación, Kinzinger et al [37] y Huck et al [38], reducen la etapa de consolidación y modifican la distracción clásica, removiendo el distractor y ajustando el diente anquilosado en 3 dimensiones con biomecánica ortodóncica (arcos de tma y de acero rectangulares), tomando ventaja de la flexibilidad del callo óseo (concepto de hueso flotante) [39]. Este ajuste final puede considerarse como una continuación de la distracción [38].…”

Odontol. 2013 diciembre; 9 (edición especial): 75-82.Resumen. El tratamiento de dientes anquilosados presenta un gran desafío en odontología. El manejo debe incluir técnicas ortodón-cico-quirúrgicas para obtener un resultado estético y funcional satisfactorio. Las opciones de tratamiento son la remoción quirúrgica, luxación quirúrgica, osteotomía segmentaria con reposición inmediata y osteotomía segmentaria con distracción osteogénica, que puede hacerse a su vez con distractores o con ortodoncia, logrando unos resultados aceptables a largo plazo.Palabras clave: anquilosis dental, distracción ostegénica, ortodoncia, osteotomía. Orthodontic-Surgical Alternatives for Tooth AnkylosisAbstract. Treatment for tooth ankylosis poses a big challenge in dentistry. Orthosurgical techniques must be included to obtain a satisfactory esthetic and functional result. The treatment options are surgical removal, segmentary osteotomy with immediate reposition and segmentary osteotomy with distraction osteogenesis, which can be done using distractors or orthodontics, thus achieving acceptable long-term outcomes.
