Table 2 The mean value of fraction of bone regeneration (FBR) of the experimental group (group B; FBR_B) increases from the 2nd to the 8th week compared to FBR of the control group (group A; FBR_A) (P = 0.009). More in detail, at the 2nd postoperatively week the FBR of group A was 14.88%, while the FBR of group B was 19.96%. Four weeks postoperatively, the FBR of group A was 16.73%, while the group’s B FBR was 39.13%. Finally, 8 weeks postoperatively the FBR of group A was 15.98%, while the FBR of group B was 42.13%
