|---|---|---|---|
| Score | host - graft interface growth | Category | bone growth description |
| 1 | Minimal growth at the interface or only graft resorption | A | Longer, undirected growth from or near defect edge (right of line) |
| 2 | Obvious but un-bridged growth at the interface | B | Longer, undirected growth closer to the graft (left of line) |
| 3 | Less bridging growth at interface (left of dashed line) | C | Wider growth towards graft from or near defect edge (right of line) |
| 4 | More bridging growth at interface (both sides of dashed line) | D | Wide growth from edge through the void space (crosses line) |
