ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for osteogenesis distraction of small alveolar bone is provided. The alveolar distraction osteogenesis device may be affixed to small and thin bone segments. An alveolar distraction osteogenesis device according to the first embodiment includes a submergible first and second members along with a threaded rod. An alveolar distraction osteogenesis device according to a second embodiment includes an osseointegrated cylindrical member along with an adaptable threaded rod which may be used with a stabilizing plate. The alveolar distraction osteogenesis device is activated using a hexagonal drive wrench or a slot screw driver. In order to allow for bone growth and/or distraction, a constant activation rate between bone segments is applied by a torque.
