Horizontal Ridge Deficiency
Conditions
Brief summary
Cases with horizontal ridge deficiency less than what is possible for ridge splitting were recruited and the buccal cortex was totally separated and lateralized at the desired distance for augmentation
Interventions
PROCEDURELateralized buccal cortex with xenograft
the buccal cortex of the deficient ridge was separated and lateralized then fixed at the desired distance
PROCEDURELateralized buccal cortex with autogenous particulate
lateralized buccal cortex with autogenous particulate

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in horizontal bone gain | six months after the operation | the net average bone gain (in millimeters) was calculated: by calculating the difference between the immediate post operative bone width measured on the Immediate CBCT and the six months bone width measured on the six months CBCT |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bone area percent | Six months after the operation | histomorphometric analysis of core biopsies was done at the time of implant insertion to determine the bone area percent at the implant sites |
