What is it about?
Alveolar ridge expansion was performed, an implant was placed in the site and delayed loading was applied .Crestal bone levels around the dental implants were evaluated with intraoral x-rays for 5 years

Why is it important?
Minimal vertical bone gain was observed after 3 years from dental implant placement
Perspectives
This article shows how split crest procedure help to prevent bone loss in implantology. To me, it's a good resource in a surgeon hands, which might be used to reduce bone loss around dental implants when a bone loss is estimated to occur in the future
