Longitudinal Monitoring of Microsurgical Socket Augmentation Healing With Ultrasonography
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Healing Wound
In brief
The purpose of this study is to assess healing after tooth extraction with simultaneous socket augmentation (bone grafting during the same appointment as the extraction) when the surgeon uses a surgical microscope, compared to when the surgeon uses dental loupes (magnifiers that are mounted on the surgeon's glasses). These devices magnify and shine light on the area where the surgeon operates.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- At least 18 years of age
- Single maxillary or mandibular hopeless tooth (a maxillary or mandibular anterior tooth or premolar) planned for extraction due to periapical pathology with a minimum ≥2 mm of the size of the periapical radiolucency shown on a peri-apical film.
