K. Vertical distraction results in increase of the alveolar bone volume as well as expansion of the adjacent soft tissue. The periosteum and gingiva are expanded as part of the distraction process.

L. Elevation of the ridge and expansion of the gingiva provides a suitable site for placement of an implant. The site receiving the implant is primarily transported, mature bone. The increase in the bone volume is due to regeneration of the distant, distraction zone which acts as a regeneration chamber.
