TABLE 2.

Oulu Resorption Score

Variable Score
Extent (ie, remaining bone volume)
 No BFR/remaining bone volume = 100% 0
 Remaining bone volume 75% to 99.9% 0
 Remaining bone volume 25% to 74.9% 2
 Remaining bone volume <25% 3
Severity of perforations due to BFR
 No BFR or only cancellous bone loss 0
 Nonperforating resorption 1
 A new bicortical perforation of <1.0 cm 2
 A new bicortical perforation of ≥1.0 cm 3
Focus (ie, total integrity of the bone flap)
 No BFR 0
 One focal BFR change 0
 Multiple BFR foci 2
 Diffuse BFR: signs of BFR throughout the flap area 3

BFR = bone flap resorption.
