RidgeWidening and Peri-implant Alveolar Bone Loss after Bone Splitting Technique According to Vollmer-Valentin System

Existing bone loss still remains an important challenge when implant placement is required to rehabilitate the compromised site. A new way to place dental implants in cases of alveolar atrophy, described in some articles, is the ridge-splitting technique, which allows the ridge to be widened by a less invasive procedure than the traditional grafting approaches. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of this technique in bone augmentation, evaluate the relationship between peri-implant alveolar bone loss after Use of the Bone Splitting Technique, and to study the alveolar ridge width before and after split.
