“…Most previous studies on alveolar ridge preservation have used granular graft materials 41–43 because block‐type graft materials are difficult to adjust to completely fill bone defects. Furthermore, an increased incidence of dehiscence was evident with the use of porous hydroxyapatite (HA) blocks compared to the use of granules for alveolar ridge augmentation in humans 45 . However, in the present study, alveolar ridge preservation was accomplished using β‐TCP blocks, and immature new bone was observed in the buccal bone area, despite the fact that no membrane was used.…”

“…Although many materials can be used, we generally prefer the use of porous hydroxyapatite granules (Interpore International, Irvine, CA, USA) for their versatility and due to proven clinical experience. Hydroxyapatite is biocompatible, having the same mineral composition as bone, and in its porous form, hydroxyapatite is not prone to resorption because it supports fibrovascular ingrowth [4045], contributing to long-term stability [46]. The granular form provides surgical flexibility, enabling small volume enhancements if need be, yet with minimal subperiosteal dissection.…”

“…Several processes 4,5 are used to produce HAp of wide application as a temporary substitute for the human bone 5,10,11,20,21 . HAp behaves as a temporary substitute by acting as an auxiliary agent in the bone regeneration in such a way that it can be reabsorbed later by the organism 22 .…”

“…In recent years bioceramics based on calcium phosphate salts have received attention as bone substitutes 7 . These materials may be resorbable (tricalcium phosphate), bioactive (hydroxyapatite and bioactive glasses), porous for tissue ingrowth (hydroxyapatite-coated metals) 8 or composites (stainless-steelfibre-reinforced bioglass) [9][10][11] . The human bone is formed basically by an organic phase and other minerals.…”
