Influence of blinded wound closure on the volume stability of different <scp>GBR</scp> materials: an <i>in vitro</i> cone‐beam computed tomographic examination

Abstract

Wound closure induced displacement of the bone substitute resulting in a partial collapse of the collagen membrane in the coronal portion of the augmented site. The stability of the bone substitute and collagen membrane was enhanced by the application of fixation pins and by the use of block bone substitute instead of particulated bone substitute.
