Determinants of Bone Dimensional Changes After Extraction and Alveolar Ridge Preservation

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Alveolar Bone Grafting, Bone Healing, Tooth Extraction Site Healing, Wound Healing

In brief

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.
