Narrow Alveolar Ridge Management with Modified Ridge Splitting Technique: A Report of 3 Cases

Table 1

Comparison of alveolar bone widths before and after surgery. There was some resorption, but as a result, it can be seen that the width of the alveolar bone increased after ridge splitting and expansion technique.

Case number	Pre-M	Pre-D	Pos-M	Pos-D	Pi-M	Pi-D
