Brief Summary

In this split-mouth controlled study, implants placed using the alveolar ridge expansion technique will be compared to those placed in native bone with sufficient horizontal bone width. The Piezosurg...

Detailed Description

The success rate of endosseous implant placement in native bone has been proven to be highly predictable. Reliable long term result requires sufficient bone thickness surrounding the implant's body. T...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • At least 18 years of age
  • Systemically healthy
  • Implant therapy will be the elective treatment option.
  • The alveolar ridge thickness will be insufficient to receive implant of 3.5-4.3mm in diameter.
  • The ridge width will be at least 4mm
  • Implants will be placed in the maxillary edentulous ridge from second premolar to the opposite second premolar.
  • There will be a second edentulous ridge in the same individual's mouth that serves as control site. The crest of this site will be at least 5.5mm wide, sufficient to receive an implant of 3.5-4.3 mm in diameter.

  • Wearers of pacemaker.
  • Severe renal or liver diseases
