Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dental Implantology
  • Bone Grafting Techniques

Background:

  • Atrophic bony ridges pose significant challenges for dental implant placement.
  • Traditional onlay bone grafting requires a secondary surgical site and prolonged healing.
  • Onlay grafts can experience delayed fusion and potential failure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the surgical procedure for ridge expansion using the segmental ridge-split technique.
  • To present an alternative to traditional onlay bone grafting for atrophic ridges.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical splitting of the crest of an edentulous ridge.
  • Expansion of the ridge.
  • Grafting with bone allograft.

Main Results:

  • The segmental ridge-split procedure allows for predictable ridge expansion.
  • Eliminates the need for a secondary surgical site for bone harvesting.
  • Potentially reduces the overall treatment time for dental implants.

Conclusions:

  • The segmental ridge-split technique is an effective and efficient method for reconstructing atrophic edentulous ridges.
  • This procedure offers advantages over traditional onlay bone grafting by simplifying the surgical process and reducing patient morbidity.
