Radiographic changes in height and volume after lateral GBR procedures with different ratios of deproteinized bovine bone mineral and autogenous bone at different time points. An experimental study.

Augmentation height following GBR was better preserved with ABB covered with DBBM. Addition of PAB to DBBM did not affect the changes in height of the graft. The volumetric stability seems to be comparable for ABB covered by DBBM and all particulate grafts after 30 weeks. However, DBBM alone revealed significant less volume reduction in the early healing phase.
