Reconstruction of alveolar deficiency is mandatory to establish an ideal foundation for implant-supported prosthetic restoration.

Three patients experienced shell detachment six months later but that did not hinder the placement of an implant. Radiographically, there was horizontal bone gain that was statistically significant six months postoperatively. The mean apical bone gain was 2.64 mm (\u00b10.99 standard deviation [SD]). The mean mid-level bone gain was 3.44 mm (\u00b10.52 SD). The mean crestal bone gain was 2.36 mm (\u00b10.85 SD). Histologically, vital trabecular bone tissue with osteocytes and osteoblasts was detected. Moreover, the presence of reversal lines indicated bone formation and remodelling after grafting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This technique generates sufficient bone tissue in previously horizontally deficient alveolar ridges for subsequent implant placement and omits the need for a second surgical site with its consequent morbidity.
