Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in horizontal bone gainsix months after the operation

the net average bone gain (in millimeters) was calculated: by calculating the difference between the immediate post operative bone width measured on the Immediate CBCT and the six months bone width measured on the six months CBCT

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Bone area percentSix months after the operation

histomorphometric analysis of core biopsies was done at the time of implant insertion to determine the bone area percent at the implant sites
