Abstract

Dental implant has become one of the important option for completely or partially edentulous patients, But it is challenging to reconstruct the severely atrophic ridge. Insufficient bone volume could restrict to place the wide and long implant and because of excessive interocclusal clearance, improper prosthetics could be produced. In this case bone augmentation for implant dentistry is necessary procedure to improve the insufficient bone volume. Therefore, bone augmentation or GBR is the most important procedure for successful implant placement and for ideal crown- root ratio. There are various bone augmentation techniques have been introduced recently; like block bone graft, distraction osteogenesis, inlay graft, onlay graft, etc.... In severe bucco-lingual resorption area, ridge splitting is the first choice of the treatment, because it provides a place for implantation and also has compaction effect. This technique may be indicated for sharp mandible and maxillary ridges in patients whose bone quantity is inadequate for primary stabilization. We report that the clinical experience of bone augmentation using ridge splitting technique in bucco-lingual bone resorption area.
