Abstract
Edentulism of a long standing nature leading to severe alveolarridge atrophy with a resultant thin ridge often pose a greatchallenge to the clinicians for rendering implant supportedprosthesis in that region. The ideal treatment in such a scenariowill be the ridge expansion procedure for achieving an increasein the available bone volume at the implantation site. The spacethus created between the bony walls renders an idealregenerative and implant-integrating condition. The use of apiezosurgical device for performing a piezoelectric alveolar ridgeexpansion procedure permits a precise and tactile controlledosteotomy facilitating implant placement in anatomic situationspreviously impossible in a single stage surgical procedure. Thiscase report demonstrates the ease of mandibular ridge splittingwith the use of piezosurgical principle facilitating immediateimplant placement in a severely resorbed thin edentulousalveolar ridge.
