| Abstract | ||||
| Aim: To evaluate the use of PRF membrane in alveolar ridge splitting with simultaneous implant placement. Methodology: 16 patients were randomly selected and treated by alveolar ridge splitting technique to increase bucco-lingual bone width allowing simultaneous implant placement. Divided into 2 groups, case group managed by filling intercortical gap by PRF membrane and control group managed by filling intercortical gap by xenogenic bone graft. Using CBCT to measure bucco-lingual bone width preoperatively, immediately postoperative and 6 months postoperatively. Results: Both groups showed a statistically significant increase of the bucco-lingual bone width mean value detected immediately and 6 months postoperatively compared to that measured preoperatively. On the other hand comparing that width detected immediately to that after 6 months postoperatively showed a significant decrease of that value. When comparing bucco-lingual bone width mean values between both groups preoperatively, immediately and 6 months postoperatively were non-significantly different. Conclusions: Using either PRF membrane or xenogenic bone particulates as a filling material in the intercortical gap in alveolar ridge splitting cases could increase buccolingual bone width of the alveolar ridge without significant difference. | ||||
