Aim:
To augment the residual alveolar ridge using ridge
augmentation procedure prior to implant placement.
Materials and Methods:
In the present case, Ridge Augmentation
procedure was carried out via the piezoelectric assisted
ridge split technique
Results:
The surgical site healing was uneventful,along with
a successful gain in the clinical ridge width post-
operatively
Conclusion:
The staged approach to implant reconstruction by
ridge split technique has shown to have better buccal
cortical bone preservation,higher implant success and
also provide more predictable and stable results.
