Piezosurgical Buccal Plate Repositioning Technique for Horizontal Alveolar Ridge Augmentation

Achieving prosthetically driven implant placement is a highly predictable treatment modality with reliable long-term results. Different surgical procedures have been used as a solution for reconstructing of the alveolar ridge with deficient volume. In the present study we demonstrate a modified alveolar ridge split technique for horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation (buccal plate repositioning technique) using the piezotome surgery. Evaluation of the effect of silica-calcium phosphate nanocomposite (SCPC) graft material versus demineralized freeze dried bone allograft (DFBA) in horizontal alveolar ridge augmentation before implant insertion will be performed.
