OPS-Code 5-235.9:
Removal and restoration of teeth: Replantation, transplantation, implantation and stabilization of a tooth: Jaw reconstruction using an enoral distractor
A device with an expanding screw mechanism was used to create new bone growth in your jawbone.
Your jawbone was firstly separated at a certain point. You then had a device containing an expanding screw mechanism fitted to your jawbone. The device separates the bone segments from one another over a period of days. Healing tissue then forms in the gap created between the bone fragments. Finally, this healing tissue gradually transforms into bone.
