Guided bone augmentation using a ceramic space-maintaining device

• Objective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate 3-dimensionally whether vertical bone augmentation can be achieved using a hollow hydroxyapatite space-maintaining device in a rabbit calvarial model. Furthermore, different inner surface topographies, different permeabilities, and different porosities of the ceramic were tested to determine the optimal conditions for bone regeneration.
