Abstract:

Narrow alveolar ridges remain a serious challenge for the successful endosseous implant placement. Among alveolar ridge augmentation techniques, the ridge-split procedure demonstrates many benefits, including no need for a second (donor) surgical site, uncommon risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury, and less pain and swelling, and others. Lateral bone augmentation through the ridge-split works best in a localized lateral bony defect intended for placing 1 or 2 implants and where the ridge is vertically intact. A combined surgical approach of mandiblar atrophic ridge utilizing one posterior vertical cut splitting; using rotary burs; and chisel, for the augmentation with allograft bone material; together with implant site expansion to accommodate a 4mm dental implant. An increase of 4 times of the original size of the bone has been achieved using this technique.
