BONE DISTRACTION AS A BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT FOR UPPER CANINE IMPACTION
Abstract:
This is a study of callus distraction for dentulous fragments of maxillary bones, used for the
biological treatment of upper impacted canines in cases where orthodontic treatment failed. Fifteen
cases of upper impacted canines in patients aged between 14 and 24 were treated by callus distraction.
Patients were randomly divided into two groups: A and B. For the daily number of distraction rates and
for sensibility related to distraction were submitted to statistical analysis on small independent groups.
No statistically significant differences were noted regarding sensibility related to the dimension of
distraction, age of patients or the daily number of distraction rates.
