Assessment of vertical ridge augmentation and labial prominence using buccal versus palatal approaches for maxillary segmental sandwich osteotomy (inlay technique): A randomized clinical trial.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the final vertical gain at the deficient anterior maxillary alveolar ridges using buccal versus palatal approaches for maxillary segmental sandwich osteotomy (inlay technique). This is a single-institutional randomized comparative clinical trial.

Material And Methods: The study population was 16 patients with edentulous anterior maxillary alveolar ridges (40 implant sites).
