This book describes a new method of alveolar distraction osteogenesis that offers important advantages and can be used for the treatment of various orthopedic abnormalities and congenital malformations. Detailed guidance is provided on selection of patients suitable for alveolar distraction, including those with cleft lip and palate, skeletal class II malocclusions and cystic lesions involving the alveolus. All aspects of treatment using the ArchWise distraction appliance are then covered, including technical preparation, surgical set-up and osteotomies, docking site surgery, orthodontic finishing, implant placement and prosthetic restorations. Relevant information is also included on the principles of distraction osteogenesis and bone histology and quality after the procedure. The book concludes with helpful case presentations covering different scenarios in which ArchWise distraction of alveolar bone is appropriate.

Alveolar distraction osteogenesis offers the potential for increasing alveolar bone height and width while avoiding many of the risks associated with bone grafting. Ongoing clinical studies show promise for much wider application of this technique.

Craniofacial Distraction Osteogenesis addresses one of today's hottest topics in orthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery! This comprehensive, full-color text presents the latest information on extraoral and intraoral distraction appliances, including tooth-borne, bone-borne, and hybrid fixation methods. Readers will learn how to minimize or avoid potential complications of osteodistraction by using proper preoperative planning and execution. It includes detailed discussions of mandibular lengthening and widening, mandibular bone transport, alveolar distraction, maxillary, mid-face, and cranial distraction, and more. An extensive library of case studies collected from world-renowned surgeons demonstrates the clinical application of the various techniques.

The book highlights the application of distraction osteogenesis in repositioning of teeth. The paradigm in orthognathic surgery has shifted in a way that it is now possible to perform distraction osteogenesis in an outpatient basis. The principles and procedures involved in this cutting edge technique are outlined in the book. Rapid orthodontics, sophisticated imaging, tissue engineering, principles of bone healing and tissue repair and more are discussed by leaders in the field. Through distraction osteogenesis (slow movement), and orthognathic surgery (immediate movement), virtually every kind of facial deformity is treatable in a reasonable period of time. Dr. Bell, a prime mover in oral and maxillofacial surgery, has collected contributions from first-class academicians and practitioners in the field for this lavishly illustrated volume. Key Features Intensely clinical flavor with 600 full color illustrations DVD containing surgical videos and case reports,cutting edge procedures and imaging.

Horizontal Augmentation of the Alveolar Ridge in Implant Dentistry: A Surgical Manual presents the four main methods of horizontal ridge augmentation in a clinically focused surgical manual. After an introductory section and requirements for dental implants, sections are devoted to each procedure: ridge-split, intraoral onlay block bone grafting, guided bone regeneration, and horizontal distraction osteogenesis. Chapters written by international experts in each augmentation procedure Step-by-step instruction for each technique More than 1,100 clinical photographs and illustrations
