Three Dimensional Model Planning for Vector Determination in Alveolar Distraction Osteogenesis: A Technical Note

The most common complication observed following alveolar distraction osteogenesis is the lingual tipping of the transport segment [3] To overcome this, the vector or direction of distraction should be modified. The transport plate was bent at 90 degrees at the level of first hole and adapted to the...

Description
Summary:The most common complication observed following alveolar distraction osteogenesis is the lingual tipping of the transport segment [3] To overcome this, the vector or direction of distraction should be modified. The transport plate was bent at 90 degrees at the level of first hole and adapted to the segment in the model, such that the vector was buccal in direction and the distractor was positioned straight (Fig. 2).
