Zirconia can be considered as an alternative and innovative material suitable for GBR because it has high biocompatibility, together with a scarce tissue integration. Zirconia barriers could be a predictable and alternative barrier material for GBR in terms of (i) biocompatibility, (ii) ease of use and removal, (iii) exposure management, (iv) bone regeneration outcomes.

RECRUITINGchange in vertical height of ridge
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) was done immediately (1 week) and after six months to evaluate the changes in vertical, horizontal and volumetric measurements of the ridge. OnDemand3D™ software was used to evaluate vertical and horizontal height. Measurements were taken as follows: From the toolbar, the ruler was selected from the measurement section.
Time frame: up to 6 months
change in horizontal width of ridge
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) will be done immediately (1 week) and after six months OnDemand3D™ software will be used. Measurements were taken as follows: From the toolbar, the ruler was selected from the measurement section.
