Abstract
Background: The alveolar split crest technique is a frequently employed operation in the field of dentistry dealing with narrow ridge conditions to facilitate the placement of implants and proper prosthetic fabrication. Objectives: To evaluate the split crest for narrow edentulous anterior maxilla with simultaneous grafted material to increase the horizontal width of the alveolar ridge using magnetic mallet. Materials and Methods: Eight patients with narrow anterior maxillary ridge were selected to match a list of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The participants have undergone maxillary split crest technique using magnetic mallet with simultaneous grafted material insertion to fill the expanded gap. Results: The findings indicated a significant increase in the horizontal bone width immediately postoperative and three months postoperative compared with preoperative (p < 0.001, p < 0.001; respectively). Regarding bone density, there was a significant increase in the bone density immediately and three months postoperatively compared with preoperative (p < 0.020, p < 0.013; respectively). Conclusion: Split crest technique using magnetic mallet was found to be an efficient procedure to increase the horizontal bone width and bone density.
