Depending on the severity of width insufficiency, the surgical procedures were classified into two groups: ridge expansion alone (Group 1) and ridge expansion in combination with guided bone regeneration (Group 2). After 4\u20136\u00a0months of unloaded healing, the implants were restored. The patients were followed up until 2013 with clinical and radiographic examinations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among the 168 patients, 11 patients underwent a fracture of labial\/buccal bony plate during surgery, which was corrected by changing the procedure into bone grafting, yielding a surgical failure rate of 6.5%. In the remaining 157 patients successfully treated by ridge expansion alone or in combination with <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">GBR<\/jats:styled-content>, 226 implants were simultaneously placed as planned. No implant failed over 2.8\u00a0years (6\u00a0months to 8\u00a0years) of follow\u2010up, yielding a cumulative implant survival rate of 100% in each group. Six implants in Group 1 and 4 implants in Group 2, although osseointegrated and in function, did not fulfill success criteria: Cumulative implants' success rates were 93.2% in Group 1 and 95.6% in Group 2. The mean marginal bone losses during the first year in Group 1 and Group 2 were 0.69 and 0.43\u00a0mm, respectively, followed by an annual loss of ~ 0.06 and 0.07\u00a0mm, respectively, in the following years. No clinical parameter was abnormal. Twenty\u2010two (10.4%) implants were exposed to peri\u2010implant mucositis, whereas 19 (11.0%) implant\u2010supported restorations were involved in prosthetic
