Abstract : Aim: To augment the residual alveolar ridge using ridge augmentation procedure prior to implant placement. Materials and Methods: In the present case, Ridge Augmentation procedure was carried out via the piezoelectric assisted ridge split technique Results: The surgical site healing was uneventful,along with a successful gain in the clinical ridge width post- operatively Conclusion: The staged approach to implant reconstruction by ridge split technique has shown to have better buccal cortical bone preservation,higher implant success and also provide more predictable and stable results.
