Abstract :
Osseointegration of dental implants is highly predictable when implants are completely embedded into the bone. Sufficient bone quantity is an essential pre–requisite for implant placement in oral implant therapy. Resorption ridges often pose as a hindrance in oral implant placement. Inadequate width of ridge requires advanced surgical techniques in placing implants. One such technique is ridge splitting technique,which helps expansion of narrow ridge with or without fracture of cortical plates. This technique has the advantage of immediate implant placement, incomparison with other ridge widening techniques. In this case study the ridge split technique was done using saw bur and ridge split chisel and simultaneous implant placement was done with bone expanders .This could be considered as a novel technique for implant placement in narrow ridges
