Guided Bone Regeneration for Horizontal Alveolar Ridge Augmentation With Double Layer Technique

Evaluation of Double Layer Graft Technique for Horizontal Ridge Augmentation With Staged Implant Placement (A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial With Histological Assessment)

clinical study with guided bone regeneration for deficient alveolar ridge to restore the defect in width and be able to place implant with two different technique

This study will be conducted to compare the bone formation with double layer graft technique versus standard protocol in GBR for horizontal ridge augmentation with staged implant placement

Primary outcome: Evaluation of alveolar bone width gain clinically and radiographically.

Secondary outcome: Histological analysis of remodeled bone.
