Short-term experience with the subperiosteal tissue expander in reconstruction of the mandibular alveolar ridge

A review of 35 patients in whom a subperiosteal tissue expander was used before reconstruction of the alveolar ridge with hydroxylapatite granules is presented. The mean increase in mandibular height was 8.4 mm as measured on true lateral cephalometric radiographs. Secondary preprosthetic surgery wa...

Zusammenfassung:	A review of 35 patients in whom a subperiosteal tissue expander was used before reconstruction of the alveolar ridge with hydroxylapatite granules is presented. The mean increase in mandibular height was 8.4 mm as measured on true lateral cephalometric radiographs. Secondary preprosthetic surgery was necessary in two cases.
