Ameloblastoma is a true neoplasm of odontogenic epithelial origin. Surgical resection of the ameloblastoma is well-documented and an accepted treatment modality. Vertical distraction of the alveolar process is an efficient method for augmentation. This method of providing additional bone and soft tissue for implant placement is becoming more common. This clinical report describes the use of distraction osteogenesis and fixed implant supported prosthesis to treat a post-surgical alveolar defect as a result of the resection of a unicystic ameloblastoma in the anterior mandibular region. As a result of alveolar distraction a segment of mature bone was transported vertically in order to lengthen the crest, for better implant anchorage. Further clinical and experimental studies of the technique with long-term follow-up are needed, to confirm bone and implant stability, as it relates to alveolar height.
成釉细胞瘤是一种真正起源于牙源性上皮的肿瘤。成釉细胞瘤的手术切除有充分的文献记载，是一种公认的治疗方式。牙槽突垂直牵张是一种有效的骨增量方法。这种为种植体植入提供额外骨组织和软组织的方法正变得越来越普遍。本临床报告描述了使用牵张成骨术和固定种植体支持的修复体来治疗下颌前部单囊性成釉细胞瘤切除术后的牙槽骨缺损。通过牙槽骨牵张，一段成熟骨垂直移动以延长牙槽嵴，从而更好地固定种植体。需要对该技术进行进一步的长期随访临床和实验研究，以证实与牙槽高度相关的骨组织和种植体稳定性。
