There were 29 maxillary and 36 mandibular defects treated in our study. The baseline mean vertical deficiency was 5.3 ± 2.5 mm in the maxilla and 5.6 ± 2.7 mm in the mandible; there was no difference in this variable between the arches per GEE (P = 0.664). Mean absolute vertical bone gain was 5.1 ± 2.2 mm in the maxilla and 5.3 ± 2.6 mm in the mandible; there was no difference in this variable between the arches per multiple linear regression (P = 0.596) (Table 2-4). Defect size (P < 0.01) and healing time (P < 0.05) significantly affected vertical gain. Smoking was not statistically relevant (P = 0.220), but a large effect size (beta = 1.60) was observed.
