  • Title: Ridge-splitting technique with simultaneous implant placement.
    Author: Koo S, Dibart S, Weber HP.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2008 Mar; 29(2):106-10. PubMed ID: 18429425.
    Abstract:
    Bone augmentation procedures are routinely required before dental implant placement. Several techniques for this procedure may be considered, such as guided bone regeneration, bone block grafting, and ridge splitting for bone expansion. These case reports describe the technique for ridge splitting and gradual expansion in the maxilla and the mandible. Simultaneously, dental implants were placed within the split ridge, surrounded by the particulate bone graft and covered by a resorbable membrane. Six months later, the implants were uncovered followed by impression and final restoration with implant-supported porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.
