Narrow dentoalveolar ridges pose a major challenge for the successful placement of endosseous implants. This case report focuses on a Piezoelectric driven mandibular Ridge Split technique without vertical osteotomy for an immediate implant placement in a narrow alveolar ridge measuring 3.0mm. Following anaesthesia, a mucoperiosteal flap was elevated after giving a mid-crestal incision distal to 35 along the entire edentulous ridge. Then, with the help of a micro-saw and horizontal spreaders, an osteotomy site of required diameter was achieved. Finally twist drills were used and implants were placed in the expanded site. Clinically, healing was uneventful with no step defect in the expanded buccal bone and the final occlusion obtained was satisfactory. The Piezo-electric driven Ridge Split technique promises to be a minimally invasive option for horizontal augmentation of narrow alveolar ridges- predictability within a short interval of time and with minimal risk of fracture.

Treatment of edentulous maxillary anterior region with horizontal ridge atrophy presents a clinical situation in which the placement of endosseous implants might be complex or sometimes impossible without a ridge augmentation procedure. This case report presents management of horizontally deficient maxillary anterior ridge with ridge split procedure using piezotome and simultaneous implant placement. In contrast to other ridge augmentation techniques, ridge splitting allows for immediate implant placement following surgery reducing the overall treatment time and eradicates the possible morbidity from a second surgical site.
