- The residual alveolar ridge width plus graft width was measured at the crestal level at the entry and re-entry procedure. In the test and control group, the mean of the grafted width was 9.7 and 9.1 mm, respectively. Graft reduction was 4.7 and 3.1 mm for the test and control group, respectively. The percentage of the graft reduction was calculated using the formula: ([Amount of graft reduction/Grafted alveolar bone width] × 100. p values for between-groups analysis are displayed
