Objective. The aim of this study was to compare resorbable membranes,
nonresorbable membranes, and no coverage with respect to onlay bone gr
aft healing in a dog. Experimental design. Each of four dogs had six c
orticocancellous blocks of ramus bone placed bilaterally as onlay graf
ts to the inferior lateral aspect of the mandible. On each side, one g
raft was left uncovered, one was covered with a collagen membrane, and
one was covered with an expanded polyletrafluoroethylene membrane. Vo
lume determinations were made at the time of graft placement and when
the animals were killed. Results. There were no statistically signific
ant differences in bone volume or histologic outcome among the three g
roups.
