Comparison Between Different Horizontal Ridge Augmentation Techniques

Sixteen patients were selected from the Outpatient Clinic of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University for replacement of missed single tooth / teeth in posterior atrophic mandible by dental implant.

Patients' grouping:

Patients were divided randomly into two equal uniform groups as follow:

Group I:

Eight implants were placed in patients of missing single tooth / teeth in posterior mandible with subsequent horizontal ridge augmentation by decompression technique.

Group II:

Eight implants were placed in patients of missing single tooth / teeth in posterior mandible with subsequent horizontal ridge augmentation by ridge splitting technique using piezosurgery.

All patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically at regular time interval immediately, 6 and 12 months after surgery.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patient's cooperation, motivation and good oral hygiene.
  • Patient medically free from systemic diseases that absolutely contraindicate implant surgery.
  • Moderately atrophic posterior mandible (horizontal alveolar dimension is not more than 4 mm at the crest), with minimum 10 mm vertical height.
  • Patients prepared to comply with the follow-up and maintenance programme.
  • Free from history of bruxism / parafunctional habits.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with local pathological disease such as cyst, tumor at the planned surgical site.
  • Pregnant patients.
  • Heavy smoker patients.

Treatment and study plan

horizontal ridge augmentation by decompression technique.

Procedure

Instead of a cover screw, a 2-mm healing abutment was used after implant insertion

horizontal ridge augmentation by ridge splitting technique using piezosurgery.

Procedure

horizontal ridge augmentation was done using piezosurgery tips and bone expanders

Primary outcomes

  1. Alveolar ridge width

    Time frame: 12 months

    The ridge width was measured on the cross section view at different time interval from the outer surface of the buccal bone to the outer surface of the lingual bone perpendicular to the line marking the long axis of the implant at implant platform.

    Changes in alveolar ridge width was measured by subtracting ridge width value after 6 and 12 months from immediate postoperative.
