Abstract

The alveolar osteogenic distraction, as a biological process of alveolar bone
neoformation, motivates us to make the bibliographic review whose objective was
to emphasize in analysis the following variables: historical backgrounds in Cuba,
distraction classification, distraction phases (latency, distraction and consolidation),
indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages and complications. A
bibliographic review was made by database search of reference systems as
MEDLINE and PubliMed using the descriptors "alveolar distraction" o "osteogenic
distraction". The published bibliographic sources mainly over 5 years concluding
that this technique is an excellent alternative for the bone and soft tissues
formation in zones of alveolar atrophy including three stages: latency, distraction
and consolidation; being a foreseeable method and with low rates of bone
reabsorption compared to other techniques of increase of alveolar ridge. It has its
main indication in implant therapy to provide bone volume. We must to
individualize each case and to use the more appropriate method according the
clinical and personal features of patient. A proper case selection and a better
understand of technique are essential to achieve successful results by alveolar
osteogenic distraction. In Cuba the alveolar distraction has been not much applied
being necessary to expand the studies on this subject matter.
