Overview

This is a prospective randomized controlled parallel trial. The aim of this study is to evaluate bone formation and soft tissue healing after 4 and 8 months in patients with ridge deficiencies in simultaneous implantation approach. The trial will compare a (sugar cross linked) - SCL pericardium membrane OSSIX® Breeze vs native pericardium membrane (Jason®).
