Abstract

Aim: To assess Narrow Alveolar Ridge Expansion by Ossiodensification vs. Ridge
Splitting Techniques for Dental Implant Placement. Subjects and methods: Twenty
patients were included in our study with narrow ridge width of 3-6 mm at crestal
bone level. They were divided into two groups: Group I Osseodensification technique,
Group II Ridge splitting technique with bone expanders and sticky bone augmentation
with immediate implant placement in both groups. With assessment of implant
stability (ISQ) , and bone density in CBCT. Results Group I had showed statistically
significant increase in mean bone density postoperative, after 3, 6 and 9 months
(p<0.001*). Group II had showed statistically significant increase in mean bone density
postoperative, after 3, 6 and 9 months (p<0.001). Group II was 72.70 ± 4.55 that showed
statistically significant increase in mean ISQ reading after 6 and 9 months (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Osseodensification was demonstrated higher implant primary stability and
bone density around dental implants without bone sacrificially.
