Abstract
Background: One of the key obstacles to successful implant placement is insufficient alveolar ridge width. To create a functional restoration that blends well with the surrounding natural dentition, augmenting inadequate alveolar ridges is a crucial component of dental implant therapy. Ridge-splitting techniques are used for the narrow edentulous ridge for implant placement with predictable outcomes in the maxilla than in the mandible.
This case report describes a young female patient who underwent horizontal ridge augmentation using the ridge split technique in the esthetic maxillary central incisor area. This technique was used along with demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft with membrane for the implant placement.
Conclusion : While this surgical method can be used for either jaw, it is most appropriate for the maxilla. Augmenting inadequate alveolar ridges is therefore a crucial part of dental implant therapy to meet the ideal goals of implant dentistry, with the ultimate goal being the provision of a functional restoration that blends in harmoniously with the surrounding natural teeth.
