Functionalized Scaffold and Barrier Membrane with Anti-BMP-2 Monoclonal Antibodies for Alveolar Ridge Preservation in a Canine Model

Figure 2

Repeatable anatomical structures such as the adjacent crest level (red line in upper image) and long axis of the adjacent tooth (blue line in lower two images) were used as references to measure dimensional alveolar bone change. (a) Remaining bone width at different levels of 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm from the bone crest at the adjacent tooth and (b) buccal bone height level relative to bone crest at the adjacent tooth were measured at the buccal thirds of the examined alveolus.
