The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two surgical techniques-Magneto-Dynamic Ridge Splitting and Versah Osseodensification-for expanding narrow alveolar ridges in adults requiring dental implant placement. The main questions it aims to answer are: Which technique better preserves alveolar bone width after surgery? Which method results in higher primary implant stability? Researchers will compare ridge splitting using the Magnetic Mallet to ridge expansion using Versah drills to see if one technique leads to better clinical outcomes, such as improved bone preservation, greater implant stability, and favorable soft tissue response. Participants will: Undergo ridge expansion surgery using either the Magnetic Mallet or Versah drills, followed by immediate dental implant placement. Receive CBCT scans before and 4 months after surgery to measure bone changes. Undergo implant stability testing using the ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient) method. Have intraoral scans to evaluate changes in soft tissue volume and thickness.
