Ridge Split Technique Course

Mastering the Ridge Split Technique is a comprehensive online clinical masterclass designed for dentists who want to confidently manage narrow alveolar ridges and perform simultaneous implant placement with predictable outcomes. This course provides a step-by-step, evidence-based approach to ridge expansion, allowing clinicians to reduce treatment time while minimizing the need for extensive bone grafting procedures.

Through detailed surgical demonstrations, treatment planning principles, and real clinical cases, you’ll learn how to evaluate ridge anatomy, select suitable cases, perform precise osteotomies, safely expand the alveolar ridge, and achieve optimal implant stability. The course also covers complication management, bone augmentation strategies, and prosthetic considerations for long-term success.

What You’ll Learn

• Biological principles of ridge splitting and ridge expansion
• Case selection and indications for the Ridge Split Technique
• CBCT evaluation and preoperative treatment planning
• Surgical anatomy and flap design
• Instrument selection, osteotomy preparation, and ridge expansion protocols
• Simultaneous implant placement and primary stability
• Management of cortical plate fractures and intraoperative complications
• Bone grafting and membrane application when indicated
• Soft tissue management and tension-free closure
• Prosthetic workflow, healing protocols, and long-term maintenance

By the end of this course, you’ll have the confidence and clinical knowledge to safely perform ridge split procedures, expand your implant treatment capabilities, and rehabilitate patients with horizontally deficient ridges using predictable, minimally invasive techniques.
