Abstract

Ridge expansion osteotomy(REO) technique is a simple and more conservation method to widen a narrow alveolar ridge in the maxilla. This method is superior to drilling method in soft and narrow maxillary alveolar ridge and allows the surgeon to widen the ridge in routine office procedure. Therefore, it is the treatment of choice to implant the maxilla with narrow alveolar ridge. This article presents clinical cases and discusses the advantages, rationale and surgical protocol of REO technique.
