Abstract

The treatment of edentulous spans in the oral cavity has been transformed by dental implants. because of growing renown and favourable word of mouth. The patients have a preference for this specific therapy modality over alternative possibilities. Since no two patients are alike, this specific method has given rise to several issues. An example of this would be the atrophic edentulous span. The implant cannot be positioned in the designated location due to an atrophic edentulous span, and there are issues with sufficient osteointegration. The main complaint of the 32-year-old male patient in the case report below was missing teeth when he first arrived at the Department of Periodontology. Upon assessment, it was determined that there was not enough room in the edentulous span to place implants. Piezo surgery in conjunction with a ridge split technique was the chosen treatment modality.
