Abstract
Twelve patients with isolated alveolar ridge defects bordered by teeth on e ach side were treated and followed for 12 months. The treatment involved us e of a resorbable membrane and a particulate graft without complete flap cl osure. Measurements taken at 12 months showed a significant mean osseous ga in of 3.27 +/- 3. 73 mm in mid-defect ridge width and an increase in height of 1.90 +/- 2.50 mm.
