Abstract
Because of the low number of studies and the heterogeneity of the included data, evidence-based treatment recommendations cannot be given at this time. Also, outcomes based on 2-D measurements should be interpreted with caution. However, the following factors are suggested as having an impact on bony defect consolidation: defect size, defect configuration, the preservation of the periosteum, and localization (upper or lower jaw). Prospective comparable clinical studies with a 3-dimensional follow-up are needed.
