| Zusammenfassung: | A distraction assembly for automatically facilitating bone growth which may be required for the application of a dental implant is presented. A drive assembly is dimensioned and configured to be anchored within the mouth of a patient and includes a drive component and a timing assembly collectively disposed and structured to drive at least one displacement member along a predetermined path of travel, wherein the displacement member is connected to a bone segment associated with the implant site. The drive component and timing assembly are further cooperatively structured and disposed to cause incremental advancement of said displacement member along the predetermined path of travel and concurrent displacement of the bone segment relative to the implant site at a constant or otherwise predetermined rate. |
