A study was performed to investigate the effect of curcumin on the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and its underlying potential mechanism. The Results was that Curcumin at an appropriate concentration had no cytotoxicity and could promote osteogenic differentiation of the hPDLSCs
Patients will be selected from the outpatient clinic of Oral Medicine, Periodontology and Oral diagnosis Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University. The purpose of the study will be explained to all patients and an informed consent will be signed before the conduction of the study .The faculty research ethics committee will review the proposal. The study will be conducted in the form of Patient Intervention Comparative Outcome (PICO) question (Patient "P", Intervention "I", Comparative "C", Outcome "O"). (Stone 2002) "P": Patient in the study will have enough alveolar ridge height ,suffering from missing from 1 to 3 upper maxillary anterior and /or premolar with insufficient alveolar ridge buccolingual (BL) width that interfere with conventional straight forward implant placement. The minimum BL width included in the study will be 4 mm. "I": Ridge splitting with interposition grafting with curcumin and particulate xenograft grafting. "C":Alveolar ridge splitting with interposition grafting with use of particulate xenograft alone without curcumin . "O":Clinical and radiographic outcome.

Curcumin (1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione) or diferuloylmethane is an important bioactive constituent and hydrophobic polyphenol that isolated from the rhizome of the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa) . Curcumin will be used in combination with xenograft after ridge splitting surgery
