Abstract: The reconstruction of atrophic alveolar ridges by means of the technique of alveolar distraction osteogenesis (ADO) offers a foregone result with small morbidity rates and a remarkable gain of bony and soft tissues, in comparison with the traditionally used techniques. A masculine patient of 21 years old who presented a severe atrophy of alveolar ridge in the region anterior of the maxillary was assisted by means of ADO, using a juxtaosseous device (Connection Implant System® - SP-Brazil), beginning the activation from the device to the 7 days later to the installation, with a pattern of activation 1 mm. per day until reaching the wanted bony height, being carried out the retirement of the distractor and the placement of the implants 10 weeks later. It could be proven clinic and radiographic the gain of the height and necessary bony volume for the rehabilitation by implants
