Clinical, histologic and histomorphometric evaluation of socket preservation using a synthetic nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite in comparison with a bovine xenograft: a randomized clinical trial

Abstract

Socket preservation using either NCHA or DBBM in combination with collagen membrane, results in similar, limited horizontal ridge width alterations following tooth extraction.

The effect of acemannan sponges in post-extraction socket healing: A randomized trial

“…An additional method is by observing volumetric changes using 3D Imaging Techniques. A common adjunct to this approach is the histological evaluation of bone core samples, because cellular activity is not revealed by imaging techniques [32][33][34]. Although cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides a 3-dimensional image of bone volume and topography, and generates data of higher accuracy, sensitivity, reliability, and precision than periapical radiography [35][36][37], this technology was not available for us at the start of the study.…”

Bone Substitute Materials in Modern Dentistry

“…These days the use of HA is limited, and is more used for bone defects fillings (e.g. ;after tooth extraction) (43,44,45) .…”

Third Molar Socket Grafting after Surgical Extraction to prevent Periodontal Pocket Formation

“…Many reports agreed that socket grafting preserve the socket from collaps and better than nongrafted socket or normal healing socket. [4][5][6][7] Other studies found that covering the grafted socket with collagen membrane or soft-tissue graft give better result than uncover grafted or nongrafted socket in the term of the amount of bone formation. 6,8 As the collagen membrane try to preserve the blood clot, maintain the space and preventing soft-tissue migration into the socket.…”
