Despite advances in bone reconstruction and rehabilitation techniques, treatment of partially edentulous patients with atrophic anterior maxilla remains a challenge. Alveolar osteogenic distraction and allografts have been used as an alternative to autografts, avoiding use of a donor area, while minimizing morbity of the procedure. The aim of this case letter was to report a reconstruction of maxillary defect with these techniques using clinical, histological and cellular parameters. A 42-year old female patient presented an "U-shaped" maxillary bone defect that was repaired by alveolar osteogenic distraction (AOD) to gain bone height followed by fresh-frozen human bone allograft (FFBA) to gain thickness. The reconstructed area was rehabilitated by implant-supported prosthesis. At 5-year follow-up clinical and radiographic evaluations were carried out and biopsies from reconstructed area and autogenous bone were taken for histological and cellular evaluations. Clinically the rehabilitation was very satisfactory. Histological analysis showed bone formation in close contact with residual FFBA. Cells harvested from allograft and autogenous sites displayed similar proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralization. These analyses indicate that AOD and FFBA can represent a reliable strategy to reconstruct maxillary defects for clinical successful rehabilitation.

Introduction
50
The rehabilitation of edentulous anterior maxillary defects with implant-
51
supported prosthesis remains a challenge, since loss of teeth can lead to extensive
52
vertical and horizontal bone resorption, compromising the aesthetical and functional
53
results(1,2,3).
54
Vertical alveolar defects higher than 5 mm are the most difficult to restore with
55
high incidence of failure mainly due to either resorption or dehiscence. Several
56
modalities of treatment have been proposed, such as autografts from distinct donor sites,
57
allografts, xenografts, osteogenic distraction and titanium meshes among others(4).
58
Although autografts are considered the gold standard based on their osseoinduction,
59
osseoconduction and osteogenesis properties, some disadvantages like morbidity, time
60
consuming and cost should be taken onto consideration before selecting this technique(3).
61
In this context, alveolar osteogenic distraction (AOD) is a good alternative to gain both
62
bone and soft tissue augmentation(4) and fresh-frozen bone allograft (FFBA) has been
63
successfully grafted to reconstruct bone defects in oral implantology(5). Beyond the
64
unlimited availability, FFBA avoids the morbidity commonly associated with autograft
65
harvesting(6).
66
The selection of treatment should be based on adequate quality and amount of
67
hard and soft tissues to get a suitable rehabilitation(7). U-shaped defects, usually present
68
in the anterior maxilla area, are characterized by lack of structures that prevents initial
69
soft tissue closure over a large bone graft(2). Considering that a tension-free closure
70
must be performed to prevent incision breakdown on a large onlay bone graft(8,9,10),
71
strategies to increase the soft tissue drape over a bone defect include free grafts, tissue
72
expanders, and the use of gradual distraction of the residual bone(2,10).

73
The purpose of this letter is to report a case presenting clinical, histological and
74
cellular evidences to support the combination of AOD and cortico-cancellous FFBA as
75
a good alternative for reconstructing a vertico-lateral maxillary defect, allowing
76
implant-supported rehabilitation.

Case Report
78
A 42-year-old patient had been referred to the Department of Oral and
79
Maxillofacial Surgery of the School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto, University of São
80
Paulo, for implant-supported rehabilitation. Clinical and radiographic evaluation
81
revealed a 9-mm U-shaped bone defect in the left anterior maxilla (Figure 1 A-B). The
82
proposed treatment was AOD to increase bone height and soft tissue availability
83
followed by FFBA to improve lateral dimension. All surgical procedures were
84
performed under local anesthesia with the patient agreement based on signed informed
85
consent. Surgical AOD technique consisted of a horizontal incision and a full thickness
86
mucoperiosteal flap (Figure 1C). Horizontal and vertical osteotomies were created with
87
a sagittal saw and the crest segment was gently mobilized. The osteogenic distractor
88
(OD - Conexão, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) device was fixed in the original position with
89
monocortical screws (1.5 mm in diameter and 5 mm in length), activated to check the
90
osteotomies (Figure 1 D) and deactivated to the initial position. After one-week latency
91
period, the OD device was activated at a ratio of 0.5 mm/day to obtain both vertical
92
bone and soft tissue augmentation until obtaining a suitable crest level (Figure 1 E-H).
93
After the consolidation period of four months, a crest incision and two vertical incisions
94
allowed to raise a full thickness mucoperiosteal flap. The OD device was removed and
95
the recipient bed was prepared by decortication holes using a 1-mm drill (Figure 2 A).

Marília, SP, Brazil) was shaped to get passive adaptation and fixed with non-
98
compressive two bicortical titanium screws (Synthes, West Chester, PA, USA, 1.5 mm
99
in diameter and 12 mm in length) with the cancellous portion facing the recipient bed
100
(Figure 2 B). FFBA allowed a width gain of 5 mm resulting in a reconstructed alveolar
101
ridge with 8 mm in width. Through a periosteal releasing incision the wound was
102
passively closed with 5.0 nylon sutures (Figure 2 C). Six months later (Figure 2 D),
103
fixation screws were removed and two dental implants (Nobel Biocare, Yorba Linda,
104
CA, USA) were installed (Figure 3 A-B) and kept unloaded during six months previous
105
to prosthetic rehabilitation. At 5-year follow-up, clinical and radiographic evaluation
106
evidenced that the prosthetic rehabilitation was very satisfactory in terms of functional,
107
periodontal and aesthetic parameters (Figure 3 C-F). At this time-point, bone biopsies
108
from grafted area and maxillary tuberosity (autogenous bone: AB) were taken and
109
processed for histological and cellular analysis. Light microscopy of block biopsies
110
revealed trabeculae of cancellous bone intermingled with a vascularized, fibrous
111
connective tissue. The bone trabeculae were composed of areas of lamellar bone with
112
empty osteocytic lacunae surrounded by either a viable lamellar bone or bundle bone,
113
with Sharpey’s fibers (Figure 4 A-B). Osteoblastic cells from grafted and AB sites were
114
harvested by enzymatic digestion and cultured as described elsewhere(11). Cell
115
proliferation,
116
mineralization were evaluated to compare cultures derived from both sites. The data
117
were compared by ANOVA followed by Tukey test or t-test when appropriated and the
118
level of significance was set at p0.05. Cell proliferation was not affected by cell source
119
(p=0.710), but was affected by time (p=0.001) and by the interaction cell source vs.
120
time (p=0.001; Figure 5A). The culture growth peaked at day 10 for cells from both

(p=0.223) in cultures derived from both sites (Figure 5C).

Discussion
126
Adequate bone volume in the anterior maxilla is essential for a proper aesthetic
127
and functional implant-supported oral rehabilitation. Vertico-lateral ridge augmentation
128
remains a challenging situation in reconstruction of maxillary defects, particularly due
129
to the combination of bony defect with the lack of soft tissue(4). Here, we presented a
130
case report in which a vertico-lateral defect had been successfully managed by
131
combining AOD and FFBA.
132
AOD is a biologic process originally applied in orthopedic procedures by which
133
new bone is generated through incremental lengthening of osseous segments(12). One of
134
the advantages of this technique is the promotion of concomitant increase of bone and
135
soft tissues avoiding donor site morbity(13). Preclinical studies reported mandibular
136
vertical augmentation as large as 9 mm, with histological evidences of new bone
137
formation at both sides of the distraction gap and maintenance of crest levels after load
138
application(14,15). Furthermore, there is clinical evidence that implants placed into
139
autogenous grafted or AOD reconstructed areas present the same success rate(13).
140
FFBA has been successfully used for horizontal and vertical improvement in
141
ridge augmentation that allowed implant placement(16). The good osseoconductive
142
capacity of allografts allowing new bone formation adjacent to residual graft after 6
143
months is in agreement with our histological findings at 5-years post-grafting(17). This
144
case report supports previous conclusions that allografts are biocompatible and

145
osseocondutive, allowing new bone formation after anterior maxilla augmentation and
146
implant placement(18).
147
In addition to clinical and histological evidences, here we present data of
148
cultured osteoblastic cells harvested from graft compared with those from AB. In
149
general, graft and autogenous-derived cells were capable of proliferation with
150
increasing cell growth along the culture progression. Both cultures presented the same
151
level of ALP activity and production of extracellular matrix mineralization suggesting
152
they displayed similar osteoblastic phenotype expression. At least in part it could be
153
attributed to the homolog origin of this graft as different bovine bones have been
154
showed to impair osteoblastic phenotype expression(19,20). These cellular analyses
155
strengthen clinical and histological outcomes showing the suitable biocompatibility and
156
osseoconductive properties of FFBA.
157 158
Conclusion
159
This case report showed that the association of osteogenic distraction and allograft
160
represent a feasible strategy to repair anterior maxillary defects for successful
161
rehabilitation.
