LECTURE TITLE: VERTICAL BONE GROWTH. BONE GRAFT AND DISTRACTION OSTEOGENESIS

THE AIM OF THIS LECTURE IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE USE OF OF BONE GRAFT TO GAIN VERTICAL GROWTH USING TUNNEL TECHNIQUE AND A NEW DEVICE FOR DISTRACTION OSTEOGENESIS OF ALVEOLAR BONE.

IT ALLOWS SIGNIFICANT VERTICAL RIDGE AUGMENTATION WITHOUT THE DRAWBACKS OF TRADITIONAL DEVICES USED FOR ALVEOLAR DISTRACTION OSTEOGENESIS. THIS TECHNIQUE CAN ALSO BE APPLIED FOR REPLACEMENT OF DENTAL IMPLANTS PLACED IN INADEQUATE POSITION.
