Split Crest technique - Dental Implants Net

The split crest technique is an operative procedure for insufficient bone width.

However, the bone width must remain at least 3 mm.

Procedures

1.The alveolar bone is split from the alveolar crest (the upper end ridge for supporting the tooth)

2.An implant is sandwiched within the split bone.

3.New bone is regenerated within a period of 3 to 4 months to achieve integration with the implant.

An implant can be put in place at the same time as the lost bone and tissue are regenerated.
