Aim: This study was designed to evaluate the socket preservation using a synthetic nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite followed by collagen membrane. Subjects and methods: Fourteen patients were selected from Oral and Maxillofacial clinic of the Faculty of Oral and Dental Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Boys. Extraction of tooth of lower premolar area was done to all participants. Then they were divided into 2 groups, where 7 sockets were preserved and the 7 were kept as control. After tooth extraction in the test group nanobone putty form was grafted into the socket. An additional covering was performed by a collagen membrane. A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiograph at 3 and 6 months were done to assess bone density and socket dimensions. All readings were recorded and analyzed statistically. Results: Among the study group, there is a high statistically significant difference between the three measurements (soon after extraction, after 3-and 6-months from operation) as regards the mean of bone density and the three dimensions .Conclusion: Nano hydroxyapatite together with collagen membrane to seal the socket accelerates the formation of bone filling in the extracted bony socket
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
