  1. Th: 3 months post-augmentation, Ti: at implant installation, T1: 3 months after installation, T2: at prosthetic loading, T3: 1 year after installation, T4: 2 years after installation, T5: 3 years after installation, T6: 5 years after installation
  2. *BH at Th and Ti differed significantly. BH at T2 and T3, and T3 and T4 differed significantly. BH at T4, T5, and T6 did not differ significantly (p < 0.05)
  3. **Mean bone height gained after augmentation was 9.53 ± 4.78 mm
