Abstract

|
When the width of the alveolar ridge is insufficient, bone augmentation procedures are routinely performed before dental implant placement. Several techniques for this procedure, such as guided bone regeneration, block bone grafting, and ridge-splitting for bone expansion, can be performed. Lateral augmentation is a traditional grafting procedure that uses particulate materials, solid block bones, autogenous bone, allografts, xenografts, or barriar membranes. However, this method is characterized by increased costs, membrane exposure, a second surgical site, failed fusion of the graft bone to the basal bone, and an extended healing period. On the other hand, segmental ridge-split technique constitutes a quicker method wherein an atrophic ridge can be predictably expanded, thereby eliminating the need for a second surgical site. Simultaneously, dental implants are placed within the split ridge. This article presents cases in which ridge-split technique is applied with simultaneous implant placement when the width of the mandible is insufficient.
