Deficient alveolar mandibular ridge corrected distraction osteogenesis to facilitate dental implant placement. Patients grouped into 2 groups: one group received Cissus quadrangularis during the consolidation period, and the other group received placebo.
OPGs were taken immediately after distractor placement, at end of activation period, at 1st,2nd month of consolidation period, and at end of consolidation period. Change in bone height was evaluated immediately after distractor placement, at end of activation and end of consolidation periods. CBCT were taken immediately after implant installation, and 6 months later to evaluate change bone density and marginal bone level about the dental implant. histological evaluation was done by biopsy obtained, by trephine bur, from implant site during its preparation. The bone biopsy fixed in 4% formalin solution for 7 days, rinsed in water, and dehydrated in sequent phases of ethanol (70, 80, 90, and 100%) and then specimens were stained by hematoxylin- eosin for microscopic evaluation.

Bone gain after distraction
Increase in bone height after distraction
Time frame: immediately at end of distractor activation
Relapse after distraction
Relapse evaluated on panorama
Time frame: 3 months from beginning of consolidation period
Crestal bone loss around dental implant
By using cone beam CT, crestal bone level around implant evaluated by measuring a distance from implant apex to a point on dental implant where bone contacts the dental implant mesially and distally. then average of bone loss round each implant was obtained.
Time frame: 6 months from implant placement
Bone density around dental implant
By using cone beam CT, bone density assessed around dental implant at crestal, middle, and apical portions then average was obtained
Time frame: 6 months from implant placement
