Comparison Between Interpositional Bone Grafting and Osteogenic Alveolar Distraction in Alveolar Bone Reconstruction

There was no significant difference between the amount of bone width produced by each of the techniques. The changes in vestibular depth were also insignificant. Compared with the surrounding bone, the density of new bone was reduced with both techniques, but the density of the bone graft was significantly lower than the density of bone newly formed by alveolar distraction.
