Brief Summary

This clinical report describes a technique for ridge splitting, and gradual expansion in the maxilla with simultaneous implant placement with in the split ridge, with the preservation of the thin buccal plate of bone for proper blood supply.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the amount of marginal bone loss

    the amount of marginal bone loss of thin narrow ridge after 6 months of splitting bone taking the implant as guide measured in mm determined on cone beam CT (panoramic and cross-sectional views).

    6 months

Study Arms (1)

Computer guided alveolar ridge splitting technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Computer guided alveolar ridge splitting using piezo electric device and a 3D printed surgical guide. An L shaped splitting pattern with one crestal and one distal cut will be performed.

Device: Computer guided alveolar ridge splitting technique

Interventions

The bone splitting technique could be performed using the piezoelectric system, calibrating the device on D1 setting and using profuse saline irrigation. The preparation sequence begins with CS3 insert until a total depth of 10mm was achieved across the entire extension of the ridge. The procedure continued with the CS1 insert and finally the CS2 insert. The vertical bone cuts through the cortical layer: At the distal end of the horizontal split, a vertical cut will made with the high-speed bur within the vicinity of the buccal plate to start the separation, with a full vertical depth of 13 mm. Final design of the splitting cut was L-shaped split. At the distal and the mesial end of the horizontal split, a vertical cut was made with the high-speed bur for a full vertical depth of 13mm.
