Abstract
The use of a modified edentulous ridge expansion in 2 stages allowed the installation of implants in narrow and corticalized alveolar ridges. We suggest that this technique is especially applicable in the distal segments of the mandible because of the low invasiveness, low risk of buccal plate fractures, reduced morbidity, and reduced costs.
