Distraction Osteogenesis Using Bone Matrix Osteotensors in Ectodermal Dysplasia: A Case Report.

Introduction: Ectodermal dysplasia patients require complex oral rehabilitation. Bone matrix Osteotensors activate the patient's own stem cells to promote new bone formation through an autogenous growth factor cascade generated by a targeted flapless bone distraction before implant and/or bone graft therapy.

Materials And Methods: The maxillary and mandibular bone were activated 21 (for type I bone) to 45 days (for type IV bone) before implant and/or bone substitute installation.

Alveolar corticotomy: a new surgical approach based on bone activation: principle and protocol.

Alveolar corticotomy has proven effective in shortening orthodontic treatments in adults. A new non-invasive and flapless surgical approach has, however, yielded the same results. This technique, based on prior osteogenic alveoli preparation, entails neither anatomical risk nor post-op pain.
