Implant Placement in a Compromised Region - Ridge Split Technique
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Narrow alveolar ridges especially in the posterior mandibular remains a serious challenge for successful placement of endosseous implants. Case presentation: The present case report addresses surgical procedures for widening the atrophic ridge of edentulous ridge as thin as 3mm and gradual expansion in the posterior mandibular ridge, then simultaneous placement of dental implant. A significant increase was achieved in the bone dimension, which enabled the placement of endosseous dental implants successfully. Discussion: This segmental ridge slit procedure with gradual bone expansion provides a quicker method wherein an atrophic ridge can be predictably expanded and eliminating the need for a second surgical site. This technique also shows that immediate implantation in split ridge of mandible can be performed.
