Document Language : English 
Abstract : Horizontal alveolar atrophy creates a challenging situation for insertion of dental implant; onlay bone grafting has long been the surgical technique of choice for horizontal augmentation of width deficient mandibular ridge. The aim of this study was to evaluate ridge-splitting versus onlay bone grafting in management of narrow mandibular ridge both histologically and radiographically. Patients and Methods: six patients (3 males and 3 females) with an average age 40.5 years. The anterior mandibular horizontal alveolar dimension was ~3mm measured from the labial cortex to the lingual cortex. The radiographic evaluation was performed preoperatively and two weeks and six months postoperatively using CT machine with Dentascan software. Results: the radiographic results showed a mean linear graft width reduction of 37.5% for the onlay graft and a 47.2 % for the ridge-split, six months postoperatively while the mean change in density of the graft sites were found to be 8.3% and 10.2%for the onlay grafted and ridge split graft sites respectively.
