Q

What are the two shapes of an implant?

A

Parallel wall: Provides increased surface area

Tapered: Provides stability by creating pressure on cortical bone, which is good for poor bone quality sites. Allows compression, allows for placement in constricted sites. Reduced overall surface area

-Defects 6-9 mm in height are often indicated for distraction
-Difficult to control vector (convergent lingual osteotomy to avoid lingual tipping)

115
Q

What are the regnerate zones of distraction osteogenesis?

A

-With expansion of bony segments, a regenerate is formed

  1. Fibrous tissue zone: Located centrally and is organized type I collagen
  2. Extended bone formation: Located on both sides of the fibrous tissue zone. Mesenchymal and osteoblasts synthesize early bone spicules
  3. Zone of bone remodeling: Osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity causing b one remodeling
  4. Zone of mature bone: Located at the edges of the osteotomies
116
Q

What are the phases of distraction?

A
  1. Surgical procedure: Ensure divergent walls to allow passive movement. Incision should be in attached gingiva if possible to encourage gingival growth on distraction. 1 mm is allowed between roots to prevent injury during osteotomy
  2. Latency period (3-7 days): mobilizing too early will cause high level of fibrous tissue and low bone density
  3. Activation phase: 0.7-1.3 mm per day recommended. If too much (>2mm), impaired angiogenic response and fibrous bone, if too slow risk of premature ossification. Better to do multiple lesser turns throughout the day rather than one big turn per day (better for soft tissue)
  4. Consolidation (3 months): Keep device on until seeing radiographic evidence of bone healing. Can place implants at time of device removal
117
Q

Complication management: Immobility of transport segment with distraction osteogenesis.

A

-Incomplete osteotomy or poor osteotomy design that leads to blocking of transported segment. Treatment is to retrace osteotomies

118
Q

Complication management: Loss of distractor with distraction osteogenesis

A

May be due to poor bone stock. Options are to replace distractor or consideration of bone graft and segment fixation with plate

119
Q

Complication management: Tissue dehiscence with distraction osteogenesis

A

Slow the rate of distraction
-This allows for short period of tissue healing. Consider smoothing edges of segment if there are sharp areas

120
Q

Complication management: Resorption of transport segment with distraction osteogenesis

A

-Due to interruption of blood supply that is most likely due to over reflection of tissue
-Allow for prolonged latency period before further distraction

121
Q

Complication management: Inadequate vector of transported segment

A

-Can avoid using extraoral devices or dental wiring to aid in vector guidance
-May also consider other ridge augmentation techniques to overcome the malpositioned regenerate
