When the buccal bone fractures, but stays in place as it appears in this video, it always heals ? With the addition of autgenous bone and fibrin and collagen membrane, there is much support. Some Drs. do not use the fibrin ?

I agree with Henry. As for one of the other comments about ridge splitting vs. expansion, take a look at Dr. Ady Palti's lectures on XP. It was very well done but I don't believe you can easily split a 1mm ridge very effectively as a previous post suggested even if you were Hilt Tatum, also an Xpert on this site.

answering Dr. Sam Jain,
No question that often ridge expansion/splitting alone forces implant positioning toward a more palatal orientation because most narrow/deficient ridges are buccally deficient to start with. I believe that the one significant advantage of ridge expansion/splitting is the ability to place the implant with only one surgical intervention thereby improving time and patient management in non-esthetically demanding sites. The one disadvantage is a more palatal implant placement which I overcome by placing the implant a little deeper allowing a longer and more gradual emergence profile without a ridgelap facially. If, however, ideal implant placement is necessary for achieving predictable esthetic endpoints then I prefer a staged approach where I first augment the ridge buccally and return some months later for more ideal implant positioning.
I hope that helps.

Dr. Hilt Tatum can expand a ridge that is 1.0mm wide using osteotomes. He is able to direct the direction of the expansion. See him in Puerto Rico at his course.

Dr Salama and Dr Anitua:
I use the ridge expansion tech a lot and build the facial with autogenous bone particles and collagen membrane and the implants come out ok ...BUT... the implant position is always compromised ie to the lingual and off angle and the crown restoration with facial cantilever.

Most informative. Thanks. The BTI implant seems to be an aggressive cutting implants ideal for this technique. How would this design compare with the traditional design of a tapered screw-vent implant such as Zimmer’s and are the apex diameters smaller in comparison with similar size platform Zimmer implants

George;
Yes. Although the expansion drills in this video are made by BTI, they can be utilized with any implant system. I also utilize these drills when performing ridge splitting techniques. Thanks for the post.

Dr. Salama

Can this technique be done with any other type of implants?

Gaining Horizontal and Vertical Bone with Mineralized Bone Particulate, rh-BMP2 and Resorbable Ultrasonic-Applied Rigid Barriers
The use of titanium mesh has been well described, but so has the complications of removal and exposure. Bioresorbable barriers are now available which can be molded into any desired three-dimensional form, creating a rigid and resorbable construct that is secured to to the bone using ultrasonic energy. This unique solution has been successfully used to create the proper environment for both large lateral and vertical ridge augmentations for situations previously only treated with block grafting or distraction. Dr. Cummings will share his experience as well as the key soft tissue techniques that are critical for the success of any large augmentation.

Combination Therapies in the Esthetic Zone: Steps for Success
This presentation will cover the critical aspects to consider for deciding the sequence and implementation of combination therapies. Successful esthetic zone treatment must begin with a well thought-out space management plan. This plan involves a three dimensional adjustment of the periodontal attachment, with a possibility of root submergence and partial extraction technique. Following this, a decision is made concerning the timing and position of implant placement, and an adequate hard tissue foundation can be restored using GBR with titanium mesh and collagen membrane. On top of this base a more efficient soft tissue augmentation and adjustment completes the requirements for success in the esthetic zone.

Alloplastic Bone Substitutes Around Dental Implants
The repair of osseous defects has been a goal in dentistry for many decades. Subsequently, within the last several years, there has been an emergence of a new class of materials in dentistry referred to as synthetic bone. Finding the ideal bone substitute material has been the goal of researchers for many years. In attempting to achieve this ideal material, dental practitioners have tried with varying degrees of success: autogenous and demineralized freeze-dried bone, allografts of plastic, carbon…
