the goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the new osseo-densification technique works to provide enough bone width and quality prior to implant placement in the upper jaw the main question it aims to answer is: Is the use of osseo-densification protocol better than the standard alveolar ridge widening techniques; regarding efficiency and comfort in obtaining sufficient alveolar ridge width in horizontally atrophic alveolar ridges?
a new osseo-densification protocol using specially designed Densah burs was compared to conventional hand Osteotome technique to test its efficiency in providing sufficient bone quantity and quality in cases of horizontally deficient maxillary edentulous alveolar ridge sites that require expansion prior to dental implant placement

efficiency of ridge widening technique
the amount of ridge width gain is measured both clinically via a caliber and radiographically on CBCT
Time frame: intraoperative and within 3 days post operative
primary stability of implant
the primary stability of the inserted dental implant is measured via osstell device
Time frame: intra-operative after dental implant placement
length of surgical procedure
the time required for completion of the surgical procedure is measured in minutes using stop watch
Time frame: During surgery
Value of pain
the degree of pain or discomfort examined by the patient during the ridge widening procedure is recorded using a visual scale where 0 represents no pain while 1 minimum pain and 10 is maximum pain
Time frame: Immediate post operative
