Abstract

Treatment of edentulous maxillary anterior region with horizontal ridge atrophy presents a clinical situation in which the placement of endosseous implants might be complex or sometimes impossible without a ridge augmentation procedure. This case report presents management of horizontally deficient maxillary anterior ridge with ridge split procedure using piezotome and simultaneous implant placement. In contrast to other ridge augmentation techniques, ridge splitting allows for immediate implant placement following surgery reducing the overall treatment time and eradicates the possible morbidity from a second surgical site.
