Ridge augmentation, is a common procedure in implant dentistry aimed at rebuilding bone in the alveolar ridge, which supports dental implants. After tooth loss or extraction, the surrounding bone may resorb, making it challenging to place implants securely. Techniques such as bone grafting, membrane placement, growth factors, guided bone regeneration, and ridge splitting are used to augment the ridge's height, width, and contour. These procedures promote new bone growth, providing a stable foundation for successful implant placement.
