The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of xenograft alone or xenograft mixed with Arginylglycylaspartic acid (RGD) , in horizontal ridge augmentation with split-crest technique, for implant placement.
A comparative study for ridge augmentation procedure, With two groups. First group underwent a surgical ridge splitting procedure with ultrasonic bone surgery and grafting with Xenograft alone and implant placement. Second group underwent a surgical ridge splitting procedure with ultrasonic bone surgery Xenograft mix ed with Arginylglycylaspartic acid (RGD) and implant placement. Both groups were followed up for 1 and 3 months after loading.
