Introduction: There are many ways to rehabilitate the mandible and maxilla with bone defects, such as autogenous bone graft or biomaterials graft, those techniques can be associated with resorbable or non-resorbable screen. The split-crest technique stands out due to its predictability and low morbidity for the patient, compared to other techniques.
Case Report: In this study the patient had a lack of thickness in the left mandibular region, split-crest technique was chosen in order to increase thickness using a nanobiomaterial (Blue Bone, Regener Biomaterial, Curitiba, Brazil). After five months, a new tomography has been made and the use of Morse Cone implants (Avantt, Systhex, Curitiba, Brazil) was selected for the case, furthermore, it has been planned virtually ceramic laminates for the remaining teeth and a ceramic prosthesis on the implants.
Conclusion: All things considered, the split-crest technique is an excellent technique to increase the bone thickness with a lower cost and morbidity for the patient, which can be indicated for cases of oral rehabilitation using dental implants.
