As was concluded by Group 4 of the 15th European Workshop on Periodontology on Bone Regeneration, vertical ridge augmentation is an extremely technique-sensitive surgical intervention to be performed only by highly experienced clinicians.¹⁷

The following conclusions can be drawn from our study:

1. Vertical ridge augmentation with RPM and a mixture of autologous bone and xenograft may be a safe and predictable procedure.

2. The extent of the baseline vertical deficiency influences the percentage of bone augmentation achieved, with each additional millimeter increasing the likelihood of incomplete bone regeneration by 2.5 times.

3. The defect location may exert a small influence on the amount of bone gained (< 0.5 mm).
