Segmental Sandwich Osteotomy of the Anterior Mandible: A case report

Abstract

Vertical alveolar bone deficiency after traumatic tooth extractions or cysts and tumor removal is still being a big challenge for implant rehabilitation. For this purpose, inlay bone grafting and distraction osteogenesis are the main techniques has been used. On the other hand, the price of the distractors and close clinical follow requirements and deviations of the transport segments are the leading problems of this method. To overcome these disadvantages inlay bone grafting can be used as a alternative vertical augmentation method, especially in the anterior mandibular region, for implant rehabilitation. The aim of this report is to assess the efficacy of the sandwich osteotomy for vertical augmentation in the atrophic segment of anterior mandible through clinical studies.

Anterior Mandibulada Segmental Sandviç Osteotomisi: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Travmatik diş çekimleri veya kist ve tümör operasyonları sonrası vertikal alveolar kemik eksikliği implant rehabilitasyonu için büyük bir zorluk teşkil etmektedir. Kaybolan vertikal alveoler dikey boyutun geri kazanılması için kullanılan inley kemik greftleme ve distraksiyon osteogenezi primer yöntemlerdir. Öte yandan, distraktörlerin fiyatı ve yakın klinik takip gereksinimleri ve hareket eden segmentlerinin vektörel sapmaları bu yöntemin önde gelen problemleridir. Bu dezavantajların üstesinden gelmek için, implant tedavisi için inley kemik greftleme, özellikle anterior mandibulada alternatif bir dikey boyut artırma yöntemi olarak kullanılabilir.
