Abstract
Rehabilitation of deficient alveolar ridges has long been a challenge. The distraction osteogenesis procedure before placement of dental implants has solved the puzzle and its advantages over block grafting includes simultaneous expansion of soft tissue, high degree of dimensional stability, abbreviated overall treatment time, and no graft required. In this case report distraction osteogenesis of deficient anterior mandibular ridge was performed and then an implant supported fixed prosthesis was fabricated.Entities:
