Ridge splitting using autogenous bone wedge versus the conventional intercortical augmentation technique in horizontally deficient anterior maxilla: a randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aims to evaluate the quality and quantity of gained and maintained bone width after Ridge splitting utilizing autogenic bone wedge versus mixed bone particles for horizontal ridge augmentation in the anterior aesthetic zone.

Materials and methods

This randomized clinical trial included 20 patients with horizontally deficient anterior maxillary alveolar ridges. Patients were divided equally into two groups. Group I received an autogenous bone wedge harvested from the chin area to be placed intercotically after ridge splitting (intervention group). Group II received mixed bone particles of autogenic and xenogeneic bone placed intercortically after ridge splitting (control group). Radiographic assessment of gained and maintained alveolar bone width at thre
