Fig. 2 Comparison of groups by patient ratings of denture retention (100mm VAS) at 6 months, by severe and moderate mandibular ridge resorption. Significantly lower denture retention was observed with FBBA in the severe resorption group.

Fig. 5 Within-subject comparison of total OHIP score with resorbed LO and FBBA subjects from baseline to 6 months after delivery. 93% (14 out of 15 subjects) LO and 71% (10 out of 14 subjects) FBBA showed improvement.
