The use of a collagenated porcine cortical lamina in the reconstruction of alveolar ridge defects. A clinical and histological study.

CONCLUSIONS: Alveolar reconstruction by means of the collagenated cortical lamina gave promising clinical and histological results. The rigidity and the slow resorption pattern allowed for the blood clot protection even in case of vertical defects, avoiding at the same time the re-entry surgery for its removal.
