Abstract :

 The compromised width and height of the bone are the major problems faced by an implantologist during the placement of an implant.Ridge splitting technique helps in placing the implant in a bone with reduced bone width if there is adequate height of the bone. This report describes a procedure where the maxillary cortical plates are separated and widened for immediate implant placement without the need for any autogenous or artificial bone graft.The implant was placed in the esthetic zone and the advantage of the ridge splitting technique can be seen in this case report.
