Assessment of Bone Gain Following Composite Graft Rehabilitation of Horizontal Maxilla Atrophy With Sausage Technique Utilizing (Pericardial) Collagen Membrane

The choice of comparators in clinical studies involving guided bone regeneration (GBR) often includes both nonresorbable and resorbable membranes. Resorbable membranes have demonstrated better soft tissue compatibility compared to nonresorbable options, making them a preferred choice in many cases. For instance, studies have shown that using an organic bovine bone-derived mineral (ABBM) in conjunction with a rapidly resorbing natural collagen membrane is effective for horizontal ridge augmentation, as evidenced by positive histologic outcomes.
