Surgical procedures. (a) The premolars (P2–4) were extracted. (b) After 12 weeks of healing, the alveolar bone was exposed. (c) Buccal defects were created (3 mm width and 4 mm height) and (d) implants were inserted. (e) In the control group, buccal defects were filled with bone substitute material, without covering membrane. (f) In the mSIS and BG groups, mSIS or collagen membrane was placed on each defect.
