Inclusion criteria

✓. The target population with inadequate bone volume for implant placement due to width insufficiency of maxillary anterior alveolar ridges.
✓. Age ranges from 18 to 40 years of both sexes.
✓. Absence of any complicating systemic condition that may contraindicate surgical procedures and implant placement.
✓. Adequate oral hygiene.
✓. Eligible participants should present good general health and agree to random assignment to any of the two parallel study groups.
✓. Participants had a minimum 3-month post-extraction healing period and a horizontal defect in the maxillary esthetic zone with at least a bone width of 3 mm.

Exclusion criteria

✕. Vertical ridge defect.
✕. Undercut on the labial/buccal side.
✕. Thick cortical bone without cancellous bone inside.
✕. Uncontrolled systematic disorders as, diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled periodontal disease, history of head and neck radiotherapy, smokers, pregnancy, noncompliant patients, allergy to the used medications, uncooperative individuals or those unable to attend the study follow-up appointments.
