Abstract

The present study was designed to evaluate clinically and radiographically the ultrasonic ridge splitting technique with and without bone grafting material with simultaneous implant placement into narrow posterior mandibular alveolar ridge. This study was carried out on 24 patients with partial edentulous narrow posterior mandibular alveolar ridge. Patients were divided randomly into two equal; group I was treated with RST and simultaneous implant placement into their ridge without any bone graft; group II was treated with RST and simultaneous implant placement into their ridge supplemented by synthetic bone substitute (osteonTM P collagen). Patients were evaluated clinically to assess probing depth, implant stability quotient, and radiographically to assess alveolar ridge width and the bone density measurement parameters at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. The results of the present study showed significant difference of probing depth and implant stability quotient between the two groups at the different intervals, and there was a superiority of the OsteonTM P collagen group (grafted group) in bone density, with high statistically significant difference at all follow up periods.
