Interpositional osteotomy for posterior mandible ridge augmentation.

30 Oct 2009 This report reviewed the published data concerning different methods for vertical augmentation of the posterior mandible for implant placement. The main purpose was to compare and contrast the different treatment methods, with a more detailed review ... Read more...

Effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on bone formation during mandible distraction osteogenesis in a canine model--a preliminary study.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To make a preliminary study of the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on new bone formation during mandible distraction osteogenesis in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bilateral surgical cuts were made in mandibles of 7 dogs between the ... Read more...
