Brief Summary

Narrow alveolar ridges with a thickness equal or less than 5 mm requires bone augmentation procedures before or at the time of implant placement. (Anitua, Begoña, and Orive 2013) Several surgical techniques have been utilized for the reconstruction of deficient alveolar ridges such as block onlay graft augmentation, guided bone regeneration, distraction osteogenesis , ridge splitting and/or ridge expansion(McAllister and Haghighat 2007). A new bone drilling technique named Osseodensification facilitates horizontal ridge expansion. Studies are needed to validate the effectiveness of osseodensification as a lateral ridge augmentation procedure that aims at increasing the thickness of atrophic ridges, thus maintaining ridge integrity and allowing for implant placement with enhanced stability. The null hypothesis Proposes no difference in the bone width gain following the osseodensification drilling system compared to the ridge splitting technique with simultaneously placed implants in narrow alveolar ridges.

Study Arms (2)

Ridge expansion by osseodensification

EXPERIMENTAL

Ridge expansion and osteotomy drilling by osseodensification in conjunction with simultaneous implant placement in narrow ridges.

Procedure: Ridge Expansion by ossedensification

Ridge expansion by ridge splitting

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Ridge expansion by ridge splitting using the piezotome in conjunction with simultaneous implant placement in narrow ridges.

Procedure: ridge expansion by ridge splitting

Interventions

Osseodensification is a new concept facilitated by Densah® Burs which are a multi- fluted osteotome like drilling instrumentsThe idea behind the technique is using a non-subtractive drilling mode that preserves bone and increases its density along the osteotomy walls instead of cutting it away (Huwais and Meyer 2015)

Ridge expansion by osseodensification

using the piezotome,Piezoelectric ridge splitting allows exact, clean, and smooth even curved cutting of the bone tissue, with proper visibility.

Eligibility Criteria

Age20 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with at least one missing tooth in need of replacement.
  • Patients having a Bucco-lingual/palatal width of the edentulous alveolar ridge less than 6 mm with a minimum of 3mm residual bone width.
  • Patients having at least 11 mm residual bone height at the proposed edentulous area.
  • The recipient bed of the implant should be free from any pathological conditions.
  • No history of diagnosed bone disease or medication known to affect bone metabolism.
  • Patients who are cooperative, motivated, and hygiene conscious.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients incapable to undergoing minor oral surgical procedures.
  • Patients with insufficient vertical inter-arch space, upon centric occlusion, to accommodate the available restorative components.
  • Patients who have any systemic condition that may contraindicate implant therapy.
  • Patients with modifying habits affecting osteointegration for example, smoking and alcoholism.
  • Patients with parafunctional habits that can overload the implant, such as bruxism and clenching.
  • Patients with impractical expectations about the esthetic outcome of implant therapy.
  • Patients in the growth stage with mixed dentition.
  • Patients with a history of drug abuse.
  • Patients with a history of psychiatric disorder.
