Computer-guided ridge split and expansion significantly improved implant placement accuracy and reduced bone loss compared to the freehand method. This digital workflow enhances surgical precision for narrow maxillary ridges, though larger trials are needed.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Oral Surgery
  • Computer-Assisted Surgery

Background:

  • Horizontally deficient maxillary anterior ridges pose challenges for dental implant placement.
  • Computer-guided surgery offers potential for enhanced precision in bone augmentation procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the accuracy and radiographic outcomes of computer-guided versus freehand ridge split and expansion with simultaneous implant insertion.
  • To evaluate implant placement accuracy and hard tissue changes over a 2-year follow-up.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized clinical study involving 22 volunteers allocated to computer-guided or freehand groups.
  • Primary outcome: implant placement accuracy. Secondary outcomes: complications, bone loss, ridge width changes, defect resolution.

  • Radiographic evaluations at baseline, immediately post-surgery, and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.

    • Main Results:

    • Computer-guided surgery showed significantly lower angular (1.45° vs. 10.02°) and entry point (0.54 mm vs. 2.16 mm) deviations.
    • The freehand group experienced substantially higher marginal bone loss over 2 years compared to the computer-guided group (p < 0.001).
    • Computer-guided approach resulted in minimal ridge collapse and better peri-implant defect fill.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer-guided ridge split and expansion improve implant accuracy and preserve peri-implant bone over 2 years.
    • Both methods yielded successful implant outcomes without major complications.
    • Preliminary findings suggest digital workflow benefits, but larger multicenter studies are needed for confirmation.
