Abstract

AbstractImplant placement often requires bone augmentation procedures due to the presence of bone defects on the future implant site. The aim of the present case report is to describe a ridge expansion technique using sequential motor driven bone expanders to allow the implant placement in an atrophic maxillary ridge. The use of the motorized expanders avoided a bone augmentation surgical procedure prior to implant placement and, as a result, reduced the overall treatment time. The results were followed-up for 2 years after the implant supported the crown delivery.
