Background: Rehabilitation of edentulous ridges with implants is becoming so popular. However, it becomes onerous for a dentist to place implants in severely resorbed ridges which requires tension free primary wound closure. Instead of using invasive and extremely tedious methods to augment soft tissue, an intra-oral soft tissue expander is an ideal option. Purpose: This review aims to pool all the data available on the intra-oral soft tissue expander and all the recent advances of the concept of soft tissue expansion. Material & methods: The electronic data bases search on pubmed, google scholar and cochrane database for articles searched until June 2020. Results & discussion: Soft tissue expander can be used as a very effective treatment option for increasing the soft tissue volume before ridge augmentation. There are insufficient human intra-oral studies validating this method. However, there is a need for more well-designed human trials to comprehend its use.
