Composite Plug Vs D-PTFE Membrane in Socket Preservation
Evaluation of Socket Seal Using Flowable Composite Above Xenograft Compared to Dense Polytetrafluoroethylene (d-PTFE) Membrane in Ridge Preservation Procedures: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Cairo University
20 participants
May 1, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The aim of the current study is to compare the effect socket sealing with flowable resin composite compared to dense polytetrafluoroethylene membrane after filling the extraction site with xenograft particles in terms of soft and hard tissue changes, procedural time, post operative pain, patients' satisfaction, and cost effectiveness.
Eligibility

- Patients aged from 20 to 70 years old.
- Good oral hygiene.
- Accepts 4 months follow-up period (cooperative patients).
Exclusion Criteria9
- Systemic diseases or medications that might affect bone metabolism, increase surgical risk or complicate post-operative healing.
- Previous bone augmentation to implant site.
- Untreated periodontal diseases.

Interventions
Extraction of hopeless teeth will be followed by grafting the socket with xenograft and coverage with injected flowable composite plug which will then be stabilized using 5.0 polypropylene suture material with a figure of eight suture.
Extraction of hopeless teeth will be followed by grafting the socket with xenograft and coverage with d-PTFE membrane which will the be left exposed intentionally. This will be followed by securing the membrane using 5.0 polypropylene suture material with a figure of eight suture.
