Abstract

Endosseous dental implants are the treatment of choice for restoring function and reconstructing most edentulous
areas of the maxilla and mandible. One of the most common problems in oral implantology is insufficient bone height
between the alveolar ridge and the mandible canal, as a result of mandibular atrophy from edentulism. Generally,
alveolar bone defects can be reconstructed by either distraction osteogenesis (DO)or autogenous bone grafting
(ABG). This paper discussed implant successful rate in DO versus ABG. DO shows a higher successful rate of implant
than ABG with the result more esthetic, lower rate of infection and bone resorption, no pain at donor area, and
relatively uncomplicated.
