The current study aimed to evaluate both the quality and quantity of gained and maintained bone width after ridge splitting utilizing autogenic bone wedges versus mixed bone particles for horizontal ridge augmentation in the anterior esthetic zone.
All patients possessed partially edentulous anterior maxillary ridge with the following criteria
The anterior maxillary vertical dimension was more than ten mm measured from the alveolar crest to the basal bone of the maxilla.
The horizontal alveolar dimension varies from 3-5 mm at the crest and 6-8 mm at the basal part of the ridge measured from the labial cortex to the lingual cortex.
All patients were free from any medical conditions that may affect bone healing .
