Enrollment

Start Date

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Wound Healing Tooth Extraction Site Healing Alveolar Bone Grafting Bone Healing

Summary

The main purpose of the study is to measure and localize immediate post extraction changes i.e. socket expansion versus no width change along the socket wall and identify whether the immediate post-extraction ridge width condition (expansion or no change) is a determinant of buccolingual ridge width and height changes 4 months following extraction and ridge preservation.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 75 Years

Inclusion Criteria6

Adult patients (18-75 years)
Good general health (controlled conditions)
Controlled periodontal disease
Scheduled for single tooth extraction with bone graft placement and resorbable membrane
Tooth to be extracted must have adjacent teeth
Socket wall integrity

Exclusion Criteria5

Smoking
Pregnancy
Active periodontal disease
Systemic conditions that affect healing
Lack of socket wall integrity (bone loss ≥50 %) prior to extraction, teeth with severe infection requiring pre-extraction antibiotic treatment to control infection), and contraindications for tooth extraction.
