About this trial
Socket preservation procedures after tooth extraction have been designed and implemented to maintain the volume of the bone and gingival tissues, which can decrease following the extraction of the teeth. In this clinical trial we will compare clinically and histologically the effectiveness of two distinct bovine bone graft materials; an allograft and a xenograft, in alveolar ridge preservation procedures following tooth extraction .
