Evaluation of Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Immediate Dental Implants After Using Three Bone Splitting Techniques in Narrow Mandibular Alveolar Ridges: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Osseodensification, Magnetic mallet, and 1 other intervention for Jaw, Edentulous. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In both complete and partial tooth loss, the use of dental implants as artificial replacements for missing teeth is a well-established and effective treatment modality, leading to high patient satisfaction and improved quality of life (1). Horizontal deficiencies of the alveolar ridge can hinder implant-supported rehabilitation due to insufficient bone volume to support implant dimensions, negatively affecting the final prosthetic outcome from both functional and esthetic perspectives (2). The split-crest technique reduces treatment time, the number of required surgical procedures, and the risk of complications, making it more acceptable to patients. Additionally, it allows for dental implant placement during the same surgical procedure and eliminates the need for a donor site for graft harvesting (3). In this study, patients with posterior tooth loss in a narrow mandibular ridge underwent dental implant rehabilitation following alveolar ridge splitting and expansion performed using osseodensification, piezosurgery, or a magnetic mallet.

Interventions
Procedure: Two horizontal and one vertical osteotomies will be performed using piezosurgery, followed by ridge expansion with osseodensification burs. Immediate implant placement will then be performed.
Procedure: Two horizontal and one vertical osteotomies will be performed using piezosurgery, followed by ridge expansion using chisels with a magnetic mallet. Immediate implant placement will then be performed.
