Objectives : It is difficult to place implants at a severely atrophied edentulous mandible because of vertical and horizontal alveolar defect. The autogenous and allogenic bone graft and guided bone regeneration are useful, but there are some limitations such as the resorption and infection of the grafted bone, and insufficiency of soft tissue. Distraction osteogenesis has recently evolved a challenging technique to overcome major draws of conventional augmentation procedures, we, therefore, report the four applications of implant placement after vertical alveolar distraction osteogenesis. Patients and Methods : Four patients(all female, mean age: $60{\pm}6$ years) with severe alveolar ridge deficiencies at their anterior mandible were treated with vertical alveolar distraction osteogenesis by intraoral device(Track 1.5, 15 mm model, KLS Martin, Tuttlingen, Germany) and placement of implants (Branemark MK III, TiUnite). After the latency periods of 5, 7, 8 days, distraction rhythm and rate were $0.5\;mm{\times}2\;times/day$ in the case of good bone quality, and $0.25\;mm{\times}3\;times/day$ in the case of poor bone quality. After consolidation periods of mean fifteen weeks, five implants for each patients were placed at the interforaminal area. Results : On average, a vertical gain of $11.38{\pm}1.38\;mm$ was obtained by distraction. And all distraction zone showed complete ossification by panoramic radiography. There were no postoperative complications other than numbness of lower lip in one case. Total twenty implants in four patients were placed and their outcomes were satisfactory. Conclusion : It is a useful method to place five implants after vertical distraction osteogenesis of the severely atrophied mandible for the implant-supported fixed prosthesis.

Odontogenic myxoma, a rare tumour that occurs in the jaws, locally invasive, destructive tumors that do not metastasize to lymph nodes. Large odontogenic myxoma on mandible is treated by mandibulectomy, defected mandible is reconstructed by bone graft. Reconstructed mandible is difficult to reconstruct dentition using implant because of deficiency of bone amount. So it is necessary to additional bone graft. But a poor aspect of soft tissue lead to unsatisfactory result. Because of distraction osteogenesis is possible to reconstruction of an amount of bone and soft tissue, that is advantage to reconstruction of alveolar bone on reconstructed mandible. We report with review of literatures the 25 years old male patient who had odontogenic myxoma in left mandible, was undergone mandibulectomy and successfully implant installation and prosthetic restoration after distraction osteogenesis(Track $Plus^{(R)}$, KLS Martin, Germany) on the reconstructed mandible with a free iliac bone graft, and we have conservative and successful result.

치아 외상에 따른 흔한 합병증 중 하나는 치아 유착이다. 성인과 달리 성장기 아동에서 유착이 나타날 경우 유착치가 인접 치조골의 성장을 방해하여 치조골의 발육 부전과 이에 따른 개방 교합을 야기한다. 그러나 저위된 유착치를 단순 발치할 경우, 성장 완료 시까지 치조제의 상당한 소실을 유발하여 향후 심미적인 보철물을 수복하기가 어려워진다. 본 증례에서는 성장기에 상악 전치의 유착이 발생한 환자에서 단일 치아 골절단술 후 치조골 신장술과 치관 절제술을 시행하여 상악 전치부의 유착치를 심미적으로 결과를 얻었으므로 소개하고자 한다.

This study evaluated whether there is a difference between a conventional titanium distraction device and a TiN-coated device in terms of implant osseointegration after horizontal distraction osteogenesis in narrow alveolar bone. Four adult mongrel dogs, each weighing $9{\sim}10kg$, were used in this study. The lower premolars were extracted and horizontal distraction was performed with conventional titanium distraction devices (group 1) or TiN-coated devices (group 2). After an 8-week consolidation period, the implants were installed, and the dogs were sacrificed after another 8 weeks. The osseointegration around the implants was evaluated histomorphologically. There was one failure in experimental group 1 because of fracture of the device. Direct bone contact was achieved and there were no significant differences between the control group and experimental groups 1 and 2 in terms of osseointegration around the implants at 8 weeks. In summary, intraoral distraction osteogenesis is a good option for augmenting severely atrophied alveolar ridges, and the TiN-coated device may be useful because of its advantages, which include surface hardness, corrosion resistance, and reduced bacteria.

Introduction: Distraction osteogenesis is widely used as for bone lengthening in patients with maxillofacial deformity and alveolar bone atrophy. One of the major problems in distraction osteogenesis is long consolidation period for 2-3 months, in which the devices have to be fixed on the bone to prevent relapse. It results in scar formation on the face, disturbance of mastication and speech. This study was performed to evaluate the stimulating effect of pulsed electromagnetic field on the early bone consolidation in distraction osteogenesis. Materials and methods: Total 10 rabbit were used (5 for control group, 5 for experimental group). A vertical osteotomy in the mandibular body was performed and the distraction device was fixed. After 5 days distraction was done 1mm per a day for 7 days. A pulsed electromagnetic field (38 Gauss, 60 Hz) was applied for 8 hours per day and it continued for 5 days immediately after distraction in the experimental group. Both groups were sacrificed after 2 weeks. Histological specimens with H&E and Masson Trichrome staining were made and histomorphometrically analysed with image analyser. Results: The device for distraction osteogenesis was displaced in one animal for each group, therefore, only four animals in both groups were evaluated. In both groups, a new bone formation was observed in the distracted area after 2 weeks. The bone formation was enhanced in the experimental groups ($31.76{\pm}8.68%$) compared with control group ($9.94{\pm}3.23%$), its difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study suggests that electrical stimulation with electromagnectic field may be effective in the early bone formation after distraction osteogenesis. Further studies with large number of animals are needed before clinical application.

This is about the case of loss of multiple teeth and alveolar bone caused by trauma, which needed alveolar bone augmentation before implant treatment. Alveolar bone was reconstructed using iliac bone graft, and thereafter first implant surgery was followed by consolidation period of 3 months. Iliac bone resorption was observed at the time of implant placement. And that resorption was more in the horizontal dimension than in the vertical. We conclude that additional treatment planning(e.g. using alveolar distraction osteogenesis or tissue expander) should be considered besides bone graft for vertical alveolar bone augmentation. For both maxilla and mandible, prosthodontic treatment was carried out $4{\sim}5$ months after implant placement. To compensate alveolar bone deficiency, partial hybrid overdenture on maxilla and implant-supported fixed bridge on mandible were fabricated, and the total treatment was finished.

Statement of problem: Implant-type distractor uses a removable distraction device that has an appearance similar to that of a dental implant and utilizes many of the same techniques for placement as are used for dental implants. Material and method: In this study, 48 implant type titanium distractors were inserted into the osteotomized alveolar bone of 12 beagle dogs. After a 7-day latency period, the alveolar bone was augmented by 5mm vertically at a rate of 1.0 mm/day. The dogs were sacrificed after 4weeks, 8weeks and 12 weeks for radiographic, histologic, and histomorphometric analysis. Result: Copper equivalent value showed significant difference between 4 weeks and the other weeks(8, 12 weeks)(p<0.05). But there was no significant difference between maxillary and mandibular groups. In the bone to metal contact analysis, there was a significant difference between 4 weeks and 12 weeks(p<0.05). On the contrary, there was no significant difference between maxilla and mandible. The bone area showed significantly higher values in 12 weeks compared to 4 weeks(p<0.05). Histologically mineralization began at the host bone margins. At 12 weeks, increasing accumulation of $Ca^{++}$ element was confirmed. Conclusion: From the results above, the new bone formation was increased according to consolidation period. Especially there was significant difference between 4 weeks and 12 weeks(p<0.05). Implant type distractors used in this study to augment vertical ridge defect may prove to be a clinically useful treatment option in selected cases.

Background: The free vascularized fibula flap presents many advantages such as sufficient length of the bony segment, good vascularization, better quality of the bone, and a long vascular pedicle, but it is also associated with some disadvantages with regard to prosthetic rehabilitation because of its limited height. Improvement in bone height is necessary for ideal dental implant treatment of reconstructed mandibles. Case presentation: For two squamous cell carcinoma patients, mandibular bone reconstruction was performed secondarily with the peroneal flap after tumor resection. Since the bone height was insufficient at the time of implant treatment, occlusion reconstruction by dental implant was performed after vertical distraction osteogenesis. Conclusions: Vertical distraction osteogenesis is a suitable treatment option for alveolar ridge deficiency resulting from fibula transplantation for mandibular reconstruction following tumor surgery.
