Abstract


Ridge expansion osteotomy technique demonstrates additional benefits among alveolar ridge augmentation procedures as
there is no need for second surgical (donor) site, less postoperative complications and good clinical success. In this case
report, we describe a case of horizontal ridge augmentation using ridge split technique in maxilla supplemented by multiple
photographs.
