Summary

The traditional ridge split technique might be performed simultaneously with implant placement, resulting in a shortened treatment time. However, this approach has the potential for serious complications, including buccal bone fracture, prolonged pain or paresthesia, and loss of bone height. Linear Micro-Perforation Osteotomy (LMPO) has emerged as a less invasive alternative, promoting natural bone expansion through controlled micro-perforations in the cortical bone, allowing for ridge widening without extensive grafting. However, the precision required for LMPO can be difficult to achieve manually, especially in anatomically complex or narrow ridge areas, leading to variability in outcomes and potential risks such as bone fractures or inadequate expansion.Our study aims to evaluate the efficacy, clinical, and radiological outcomes of the flapless AI-powered/computer-guided LMPO ridge split/expansion technique compared to the traditional LMPO ridge split/expansion method for lateral ridge reconstruction of mandibular horizontal ridge deficiencies.
