About this trial
The current trial aims to assess the efficacy of utilizing the electromagnetic mallet either by AI-assisted digital workflow or by the conventional freehand approach for reconstruction of horizontal ridge defects utilizing the ridge-split and expansion technique.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
The target population with inadequate bone volume for implant placement due to width insufficiency of maxillary anterior alveolar ridges.
Age ranges from 18 to 40 years of both sexes.
Absence of any complicating systemic condition that may contraindicate surgical procedures and implant placement.
Adequate oral hygiene.
Disqualifiers
Vertical ridge defect.
Undercut on the labial/buccal side.
Thick cortical bone without cancellous bone inside.
Uncontrolled systematic disorders as, diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled periodontal disease, history of head and neck radiotherapy, smokers, pregnancy, noncompliant patients, allergy to the used medications, uncooperative individuals or those unable to attend the study follow-up appointments.
