Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Healing Wound, Alveolar; Wound, Alveolar Bone Loss, Image, Dent Disease

In brief

The design is a single blinded, dual comparative study of ultrasound versus micro-CT/LASCA in one study group. Up to a total of 140 subjects registered will be recruited. Subjects who are treatment planned for extraction of a hopeless tooth and socket augmentation with bone graft and are planned for a dental implant surgery. The socket will be evaluated before the extraction and multi-time points during healing until an implant is placed with various evaluation tools, including ultrasound.
