Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Expected primary outcome 1- Bone formation. In the bone volume comparison between the initial CBCT (before surgery) and the final one (4 months after scaffolding). Positive values are expected both in % and in millimetres of mineralised tissue. <br>;Expected primary outcome 2- Evaluation of the bone neoformation Biopsies of the regenerated area will be taken (4 months after the placement of the scaffolding) and then a histomorphometric examination will be performed to assess the presence or not of neoformed bone tissue. It is expected that the presence of neoformed tissue will be around 15%-30%.
