Study Overview
Brief Summary
A clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of dental implant placement in narrow ridges after ridge splitting flapless technique using an interchangeable guide.
Detailed Description
A sample was selected conveniently to fulfill a list of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then the selected participants underwent ridge splitting with the aid of interchangeable guide. After ridge splitting, all patients had simultaneous implant placement followed by clinical and radiographical evaluation over a period of 6 months.

Arms & Interventions
ridge splitting flapless technique using interchangeable guide
Fabrication of interchangeable surgical guide stent:
- Optical scanning of the dental casts was done using Ceramill map 400
- The treatment plan and the surgical stent were designed using Mimics Innovation Suite 19 ™ software
- Series of creating and designing special 3D virtual guide slits and boxes that can accommodate and precisely fit the tools used for the ridge splitting technique.
Intervention: ridge splitting flapless technique using interchangeable guide followed by implant placement (Procedure)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Postoperative Pain
Time Frame: After 1 week
Visual Analouge Scale (VAS) 0=no pain 1. mild pain; it is easily tolerated 2. moderate pain; it is causing discomfort but bearable. 3. severe pain; it is causing discomfort, hardly tolerated and unbearable.
Change of bone width from baseline measurements
Time Frame: Baseline, 1 week, 3 months and 6 months
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to evaluate bone width and density to all patients by doing CBCT at time intervals
Clinical evaluaion
Time Frame: After 1 week
post operative complication (presence or absence of any sign of swelling or infection)
Secondary Outcomes
- operation time(During the procedure)
