  1. Complications %: number of patients complication rate in the augmented sites occurring during the observation period; implant survival %: survival rate of implants in the augmented area in percent; horizontal gain (mm): horizontal augmentation result at the end of the observation period in millimeters; horizontal width (mm): horizontal metrics at the end of the observation period in millimeters; loss (mm)/(%): difference between the initially augmented distance and the final result in millimeters/percent; bone formation (%): amount of newly formed bone in the defect area in percent
