Summary
This study tested a bone grafting technique using two materials (demineralized bone allograft and xenograft) to rebuild the jaw ridge in 15 adults needing dental implants. The procedure aimed to increase bone width and quality over 6-9 months. Researchers measured bone gain, vital bone percentage, and graft shrinkage using CT scans and bone samples.
