Abstract

Background: The bone split procedure is a unique technique used to increase the width of narrow ridge for possible simultaneous implant placement.
Objective: We would present a case of horizontal ridge augmentation in this article, using an alveolar ridge expansion approach and simultaneous implant placement.
Results: In this report, we have described a ridge split technique and immediate implant placement for a 40-year-old male patient with missing teeth in maxillary anterior tooth region who reported to us for implant treatment
Conclusion:  A successful prosthetic rehabilitation was obtained following the healing phase. This approach leads to restoration of aesthetics, function and speech with a predictable outcome.

Keywords: Alveolar ridge split technique, Alveolar bone atrophy, Immediate implant placement
