Evaluation of Healing at Molar Extraction Sites With and Without Ridge Preservation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ridge preservation for Loss of Teeth Due to Extraction. Completed, enrolled 52 participants.
Detailed Summary
Following tooth extraction ridge preservation procedure have been suggested to limit bone resorptive dimensional changes to facilitate prospective implant placement. While this is particularly true for anterior teeth, no evidence is available to establish clinical guidelines in posterior sites, i.e. following molar extraction. This research project will answer the following question: What are the dimensional changes of the hard and soft tissues encountered following molar extractions with and without ridge preservation?
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Ridge preservation is a procedure which consists in grafting the tooth extraction socket with a bone grafting material and cover the site with a membrane to protect the site.
