Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in horizontal bone gain

the net average bone gain (in millimeters) was calculated: by calculating the difference between the immediate post operative bone width measured on the Immediate CBCT and the six months bone width measured on the six months CBCT

Time frame: six months after the operation

Secondary Outcomes

Bone area percent

histomorphometric analysis of core biopsies was done at the time of implant insertion to determine the bone area percent at the implant sites

Time frame: Six months after the operation
