Interchangeable Guide in Ridge Splitting Flapless Technique for Implant Placement

"An informed consent is taken from all the patients~I. Presurgical phase:~1. Proper dental and medical history.~2. Scaling and oral hygiene measurements.~3. Clinical examination.~4. Radiographic examination. Clinical bucco-lingual measurements was done using calipers to ensure the patients would meet our initial inclusion criteria prior to further investigations.~III. Fabrication of interchangeable surgical guide stent from primary impression:~1. Optical scanning of the dental casts was done using Ceramill map 400~2. surgical stent was designed using Mimics Innovation Suite 19 ™ software.~3. Series of creating and designing special 3D virtual guide slits and boxes that can accommodate and precisely fit the tools used for the ridge splitting technique.~All patients will be operated under local anesthesia, stent was placed on ridge and adapted well after disinfection osteotomy was done using piezotome splitting tips Implant-insertion was started immediately"
