Histological and histomorphometrical outcome after lateral guided bone regeneration augmentation of the mandible with different ratios of deproteinized bovine bone mineral and autogenous bone. A preclinical in vivo study.

Within the limitations of the present study, it seems like addition of autogenous bone to DBBM for LRA did not affect the bone formation nor graft incorporation after 10-30 weeks of healing. However, a prolonged healing time seems to result in an increased POB for all ratios.
