Osseodensification is a method of biomechanical bone preparation where specially designed burs increase density of bone as they expand an osteotomy. These osseodensifying burs combine advantages of osteotome bone preservation with the standard traditional drilling burs speed and tactile control. The investigators compared ridge splitting followed by osseodensification versus osseodensification in terms of buccolingual ridge expansion both clinically and radiographically.
