The Segmental Ridge‐Split Procedure

Abstract: This report details surgical procedures for ridge expansion by means of splitting the crest of an edentulous ridge. Atrophic bony ridges present a unique challenge to the dental implant surgeon. In the past, onlay grafts of bone harvested from the hip, maxillary tuberosity, symphysis of the chin, or external oblique ridge have all been used with success in reconstruction of atrophic ridges. However, bone onlay grafting procedures require a secondary surgical site, which exhibits typical postoperative morbidity… Show more

“…The most prevalent technique studied was that of longitudinal fracture in "green stick" or "Split crest" of the buccal bone wall, where two parallel bone incisions in the buccal bone wall were joined by an incision in the bone crest [5,18,19].…”

“…Bone grafts require 6 months to 1 year before implant placement,[17] so the treatment time will be prolonged after orthodontic treatment. By orthodontic tooth movement, patient does not have to wait for this period and treatment time will be decreased.…”

“…After the expansion of osteotomy to appropriate size, it is either grafted with bone graft (two step)[16] or implant is placed at same appointment (single step). [17] This technique jeopardizes the blood supply to the fractured buccal plate and hence rate of sequestration is high if not done carefully.…”
