Definitions

  • the present invention in some embodiments thereof, relates to methods and apparatus for performing distraction osteogenesis and, more particularly, but not exclusively, to a method and apparatus for performing alveolar ridge distraction.
  • the alveolar ridge is a bony ridge located on the top part of the mouth (maxillae - upper jaw), and on the bottom part of the mouth (mandible - lower jaw), and include the alveoli which are sockets housing the teeth (the bottom portion of the teeth are inserted in these sockets).
  • a common problem encountered when performing teeth implantation is alveolar ridge deficiency which typically results in the height of the bone in the alveoli ridge being reduced. Frequently, the width of the bone is also reduced (thinning).
  • a relatively long crown is generally used to reach the bone. Although this solves the problem, the solution is relatively short term as the crown frequently exhibits a relatively short lifespan due to excessive mechanical forces acting on the long crown (bending moments).
  • alveolar distraction has become increasingly popular, frequently used in teeth implantation procedures involving an alveolar ridge of a reduced height.
  • the height of the alveolar ridge may be increased (the height of the bone is increased) which allows for a shorter crown to be used.
  • the width of the bone may also be increased providing for a greater support area for the crown. As a result, the lifespan of the crown may be greatly extended.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,537,070 “Combination Distraction Dental Implant and Method of Use” relates to "a method of installing a dental prosthesis in the jaw of a patient comprising the steps of inserting in the jaw of a patient a dental implant comprising an incremental distraction mechanism and a prosthesis support means for securing said dental prosthesis and inducing distraction osteogenesis by surgically sectioning the jaw to form a sectioned jaw portion capable of moving away and separating from the remainder of said jaw, wherein said incremental distraction mechanism and said prosthesis support means are integrated into a single system.”
