Fig 3 (a to c) Group 1: Typical postoperative CBCT images. This method reliably creates
thick labial bone because a titanium-reinforced membrane demarcates space for bone for-
mation. (d to f) Group 2: These CBCT images represent prevalent results using a resorbable
membrane. This method is less reliable for creating space for thick labial bone, since the
softer collagen membrane can collapse easily from pressure exerted by soft tissue. Labial
bone thickness is typically less than that in group 1. Vertical bone resorption or the risk of
its future occurrence is therefore greater. (g to i) Group 3: Typical postoperative CBCT im-
ages. Labial bone thickness is much less and vertical bone resorption is significantly greater
compared to group 1.
