Out of the 29 maxillary vertical defects, 12 were anterior and 17 were posterior. The mean baseline vertical deficiency was 5.7 ± 2.7 mm anteriorly and 5.1 ± 2.4 mm posteriorly; these values were not statistically different (P = 0.489). The mean absolute vertical gain was statistically higher in posterior sites than anterior ones by 0.36 mm (P = 0.048) (see Table 2-4). The extent of the baseline vertical deficiency (P < 0.01) and smoking (P < 0.05) significantly affected maxillary absolute gain (see Table 2-4).

Out of 36 vertical defects, 4 were anterior and 32 were posterior. The mean vertical deficiency was 5.3 ± 1.0 mm anteriorly and 5.6 ± 2.9 posteriorly; these values were not statistically different (P = 0.540). The mean absolute vertical bone gain was significantly greater in the anterior sites than the posterior ones by 0.32 mm (P = 0.021) (see Table 2-4). The extent of the baseline vertical deficiency and smoking significantly affected mandibular absolute gain.
