Popis: Distraction osteogenesis of the edentulous alveolar ridges may be considered an alternative to many other augmentation oriented surgical techniques. It is now being widely used for treating severe forms of alveolar ridge atrophy, especially before the placement of dental implants. Leibinger Endosseous Alveolar Distraction System (LEAD; Stryker Leibinger, Kalamazoo, MI) is an intraosseous distraction device used for edentulous ridges. In this study, the healing was uneventful in all 5 cases that were treated except 1, in which the vitality of the distraction segment could not be maintained. No complications related to the prosthodontic restoration were observed.
