The purpose of the study is to compare a new grafting material for alveolar ridge preservation to a commonly used and well studied material. Alveolar ridge dimensions as well as histology will be compared.
Patients in good health
Require the extraction of at least one premolar or molar with future implant placement
Sufficient keratinized gingiva (equal or more than 2mm prior to extraction),
No more than 3mm of buccal bone loss
Nicotine consumption equivalent to or more than 10 cigarettes per day
Electronic cigarette usage
A history of irradiation of head and neck area
Immunodeficiency disease
Parallel
Alveolar ridge preservation
Procedure/SurgeryPremolar tooth will be extracted flapless and ridge preservation procedure with bone grafting material will be done.
changes in horizontal dimensions of the alveolar ridge
Soft and hard tissue horizontal dimensions of the alveolar ridge will be measured after extraction and 4 months later.
changes in vertical dimensions of the alveolar ridge
Soft and hard tissue vertical dimensions of the alveolar ridge will be measured after extraction and 4 months later.
vital bone percentage
vital bone percentage will evaluated histologically following biopsy at time of implant placement.
thickness of the buccal plate in mm and its influence on the ridge dimension
the thickness of the buccal plate will be measured digitally to assess if it may be a confounding factor
the thickness of the lingual plate in mm and its influence on the ridge dimension
the thickness of the lingual plate will be measured digitally to assess if it may be a confounding factor
the thickness of the overlying buccal soft tissue in mm and its influence on the ridge dimension
the thickness of the overlying soft tissue will be measured digitally to assess if it may be a confounding factor
the position of extraction site (maxilla vs. mandible) and its influence on the ridge dimension
the position of the tooth in the arch will be analyzed to assess if it may be a confounding factor
