Summary

This study tests a special drilling technique called osseodensification to widen narrow jawbone so dental implants can be placed without extra bone grafting. Thirty adults with healed tooth sockets and narrow ridges will have their bone width measured before and after the procedure. The goal is to see how much the bone expands using this method alone.
