    Summary

    This study evaluated a surgical ridge expansion technique for narrow jaw ridges, enabling dental implant placement. The procedure achieved a high 98.8% success rate in 170 patients, improving implant site width.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Dental Implantology
    • Periodontology

    Background:

    • Narrow edentulous ridges present a challenge for dental implant placement.
    • Alveolar bone width is a critical factor for successful osseointegration.
    • Traditional grafting methods can be complex and time-consuming.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the clinical outcomes of a surgical endentulous ridge expansion (ERE) technique.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of ERE in increasing bone width for dental implants.
    • To assess the long-term success rate of implants placed in expanded ridges.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 170 patients received 329 implants following ERE.
    • The ERE technique involved flap elevation, intraosseous incisions, and buccal plate displacement.

  • Implants were placed in expanded sites, followed by healing, second-stage surgery, and prosthetic loading.

    • Main Results:

    • The ERE technique successfully expanded narrow ridges, facilitating implant placement.
    • A high implant success rate of 98.8% was achieved after prosthetic loading.
    • The procedure allowed for predictable implant rehabilitation in challenging anatomical situations.

    Conclusions:

    • Endentulous ridge expansion is a viable surgical option for managing narrow alveolar ridges.
    • This technique offers a predictable method for bone augmentation prior to dental implant placement.
    • High implant survival rates support the use of ERE in reconstructive dentistry.
