Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ranges from 20-60 years. No sex predilection.

Patients free from any systemic conditions and bone metabolism diseases that might interfere with the surgical intervention, soft tissue or hard tissue healing.

Edentulous anterior mandible with a horizontally deficient alveolar ridge that is less than 3mm in width and with a vertically defect at least 3mm in height.

The minimum number of missing teeth in the anterior mandible alveolar ridge is two adjacent teeth.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Intra-bony lesions (e.g., cysts) or infections (e.g., abscess) that may retard the osteotomy healing.

Previous grafting procedures in the edentulous area
