Abstract
For the successful placement of dental implants, adequate alveolar bone height and width are required. Alveolar distraction osteogenesis is an effective method that resolves insufficient alveolar bone height for dental implant placement, and thus has been clinically applied with satisfactory results. But, minor and major problems may occur during the treatment. In the following report, we studied for such problematic cases. The problems are as follows: 1) sharp edges of the transport segment, 2) infection, 3) soft tissue dehiscence, 4) limitation of distraction, 5) numbness, 6) insufficient bone formation. But, most of them were answered by simple solutions and did not jeopardize the final outcomes. Distraction osteogenesis can be considered a safe and predictable procedure for lengthening the alveolar bone.
