Treatment Planning and Clinical Assessment

Ridge Split Procedure

A supportive procedure designed to widen narrow bone areas and improve implant planning in selected cases.

What is Ridge Split Procedure?

Ridge split is considered when the jawbone is too narrow for implant placement but still has enough height. The procedure aims to expand the ridge and create a more suitable environment for implant planning in carefully selected cases. At Archident, this decision is based on detailed imaging and a full assessment of bone quality.

Who may be evaluated for this treatment?

  • Patients with narrow jawbone width
  • Cases being assessed for implant support
  • People who may benefit from advanced bone management
  • Selected cases confirmed through radiographic evaluation

How is the treatment process planned?

The planning phase includes imaging review and assessment of whether ridge split is appropriate or whether another augmentation approach would be better. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and may be combined with implant planning depending on the case.

What should be considered afterward?

Post-operative healing instructions, hygiene guidance, and control visits are especially important because bone stability and tissue response must be followed closely.

Ridge Split Procedure FAQ

Frequently asked questions about ridge split

Why is a ridge split procedure performed?

It is considered to widen narrow bone areas when implant placement is difficult due to insufficient width.

Can implants be placed at the same time?

In selected cases they may be, but the decision depends on bone quality, stability, and the overall treatment plan.

Is ridge split suitable for every patient?

No. Suitability depends on the amount of bone present and is determined after imaging and surgical evaluation.
