Placement of Implants by The Use of Ridge Expansion Osteotomy Procedure
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Ridge expansion osteotomy(REO) procedure is used to widen the narrow ridge in locations that are too thin to permit the use of standard implant drills. The objective of this technique is to maintain, if possible, all of the existing maxillary
bone
by
pushing the bone aside with minimal trauma.
The author has used this procedure o five patients who had narrow ridge in their soft maxillary bone. Fifteen implants were placed in sites needing ridge expansion using REO. The satisfactory results were obtained.
The REO procedure is thought to be a safer and more conservative method of widening a narrow ridge. And this procedure is heatless, offers excellent tactile sensitivity, control, visibility, and takes advantage of available bone.
