Abstract: In the anterior mandibular aesthetic area, there is usually sufficient bone in the vertical direction and insufficient bone in the buccolingual and horizontal direction. In this paper, we present a case of a patient with multiple mandibular incisors to be extracted due to chronic periodontitis, in which the ridge splitting was applied to the anterior mandibular alveolar ridge with teeth extraction and immediate implant placement simultaneously. Teeth extraction, ridge splitting and implant placement were performed at the same time, and the second surgery was performed 6 months after the operation, and temporary restoration and permanent restoration were completed by digital technology 7 and 8 months after the first surgery.Teeth extraction and immediate implant placement with ridge splitting procedure allows the clinician to effectively augment the horizontal bone, improve implant success rate, reduce the number of operations and avoid a second operative area. The simultaneous application of ridge splitting technique with tooth extraction and implant placement with proper indications and operation details may have certain advantages over other implant options.
