Staged Ridge Splitting Technique for Horizontal Expansion in Mandible: A Case Report

Abstract: Ridge split procedures are commonly performed for horizontal augmentation of narrow ridges which would otherwise preclude implant placement. A 47-year-old patient with bilaterally edentulous posterior mandibular ridges was treated in the Department of Periodontology and Implantology, M.A. Rangoonwala College of Dental Sciences and Research Centre, employing a "staged ridge split" technique. In this technique, a simple corticotomy at the crestal, apical, and lateral aspects of the buccal cortical plate of the m… Show more

“…The deficiency of alveolar bone presents a clinical problem for implant placement. The width of residual bone on buccal and lingual aspects must be at least 1 mm in order to maintain crestal bone levels, which means bone augmentation procedures should be performed when the width of alveolar ridge is <5-mm wide [ 3 ]. Hence, guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique, using barrier membranes and bone substitutes such as autografts, allografts, xenografts and alloplasts, has been applied for the reconstruction of defect region [ 4 ].…”

“…While there is a lack of long-term studies, preliminary evidence suggests that the success rates for implant placement using ARST in cases with narrow arches are comparable to those in pristine bone but with a slightly increased buccal bone loss [3,8]. In addition to the introduction of the microsaw or piezoelectric devices, precise cutting is possible, which greatly simplifies the split crest procedure [7,16]. The ultrasonic frequency does not cut soft tissue and consequently causes less collateral tissue damage [17].…”

“…In recent years, several ridge-splitting techniques have been developed, including split crest osteotomy, ridge expansion osteotomy, and various other modifications [5]. A wide array of tools for splitting have also been developed, including hammers, spatulas, motorized ridge expanders, and rotating or oscillating saws [3,5,7].…”

“…in “staged ridge splitting technique for horizontal expansion in mandible,” the ridge was expanded and bone graft ossify containing biphasic beta tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite was placed to maintain the gap between the cortices. [ 17 ] In the present study, the bone plates were maintained in place by using small bone chips inserted deep in between the separated cortical plates and then the mucosa sutured from buccal to lingual to aid in fixing the lateralized plate in place. The gap was between 3 and 5 mm and was left to be filled with a blood clot giving the opportunity for normal wound healing resembling an extraction socket.…”
