Background The aim of this study was to assess survival rate of immediate loading implants placed after split‐crest technique. Methods Thirty‐six patients were enrolled in the study. They underwent placement of 93 dental implants in edentulous region after split‐crest ridge expansion procedure. Implants followed an immediate loading procedure. Crestal bone levels were measured at baseline, at temporary prosthesis placement, at 1 year, and at 2 years from implant placement. Results For dental implants, a survival rate of 98.92% was reported at 2‐year follow‐up, with a mean value bone loss of −1.02 ± 0.48. Conclusion This study assessed immediate loading implant placement after split‐crest procedure at 2‐year follow‐up.
