Brief summary

Osseodensification is a method of biomechanical bone preparation where specially designed burs increase density of bone as they expand an osteotomy. These osseodensifying burs combine advantages of osteotome bone preservation with the standard traditional drilling burs speed and tactile control. The investigators compared ridge splitting followed by osseodensification versus osseodensification in terms of buccolingual ridge expansion both clinically and radiographically.

Detailed description

Sixteen patients will be randomly allocated into two groups. Ridge splitting followed by osseodensification will be performed with simultaneous implant placement in group I. Osseodensification will be performed with simultaneous implant placement in group II. Alveolar ridge width and Implant stability will be assessed clinically. Alveolar ridge width and bone density will be assessed radiographically.

Interventions

PROCEDURERidge splitting followed by ossedensificaion

Ridge splitting followed by ossedensificaion with osseodensifying burs.

PROCEDUREOsseodensification

Pilot drill is used to make the initial osteotomy to the desired depth, then osseodensifying burs will be used in sequence, gradually wider diameter in a counterclockwise rotation and bouncing motion under profuse saline irrigation
