Abstract Insufficient width of the alveolar ridge often prevents ideal implant placement. Guided bone regeneration, bone grafting, alveolar ridge splitting and combinations of these techniques are used for the lateral augmentation of the alveolar ridge. Ridge splitting is a minimally invasive technique indicated for alveolar ridges with adequate height, which enables immediate implant placement and eliminates morbidity and overall treatment time. The classical approach of the technique involves splitting the alveolar ridge into 2 parts with use of ostetomes and chisels. Modifications of this technique include the use of rotating instrument, screw spreaders, horizontal spreaders and ultrasonic device. The purpose of this article is to thoroughly describe all the different approaches in ridge splitting technique. 2 interesting clinical cases of narrow alveolar ridges treated with ridge splitting and immediate implant placement are also presented.

Recently, immediate implant placement has rapidly gained popularity as this procedure definitively shortens the duration of the treatment, reduces the number of surgical sessions, and minimizes the discomfort of patients. However, the clinical effectiveness of immediate implantation in the molar regions has rarely been challenged. It has been reported that immediate implant placement does not seem to counteract alveolar ridge alteration and reconstruction after tooth extraction.
