This study is designed to compare the clinical and histologic results of ridge augmentation with and without primary closure over the barrier membrane. The hypothesis is that there will be no difference in crestal ridge width between the two groups.
A maximum of 30 patients will be selected that meet the following criteria:

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| With primary closure | Active Comparator | The ridge augmentation graft will be covered with a barrier membrane and the soft tissue will be primarily closed. |
|
| Without primary closure | Experimental | The ridge augmentation graft will be covered with a barrier membrane and the soft tissue will not be primarily closed. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| With primary closure | Procedure | A cancellous block allograft will be placed for ridge augmentation and covered with a barrier membrane. The soft tissue will be primarily closed over the membrane. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Crestal ridge width | The ridge width at the crest will be compared between the two treatment groups. | 4 months |
