Ridge Preservation With or Without an Osteoinductive Allograft: A Clinical, Radiographic, Micro‐Computed Tomography, and Histologic Study Evaluating Dimensional Changes and New Bone Formation of the Alveolar Ridge

Abstract

Test and control sites lost similar amounts of alveolar ridge, with the loss of buccolingual width occurring predominantly at the expense of the buccal bone. A thicker buccal plate was associated with less ridge loss in the vertical dimension. The percentage of new bone was not statistically significant between either the test or control sites, using either microCT or histologic analyses.

Advanced platelet‐rich fibrin and freeze‐dried bone allograft for ridge preservation: A randomized controlled clinical trial

“…Other studies have utilized micro‐CT to evaluate bone formation at grafted sites . It would have been possible to use micro‐CT to evaluate percentage of vital bone throughout the entire volume of the bone core in this current study.…”

“…This may have been a result of using a resorbable collagen dressing without the same occlusive characteristics of other membranes popularly used for ridge preservation. The resorbable collagen dressing and cyanoacrylate were used in this study to provide initial stability for the wound and have been reported to be used in other ridge preservation procedures . By using the resorbable collagen dressing, any benefit in new bone formation could be attributed to the graft material itself.…”

Volumetric, Radiographic, and Histologic Analyses of Demineralized Dentin Matrix Combined with Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 for Ridge Preservation: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial in Comparison with Xenograft

“…A wide range of biomaterials, including autografts [9], allografts [10], xenografts [11], alloplastic materials such as bioactive glasses [12], autogenous tooth bone grafts [13][14][15], bioactive materials such as recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) [16], and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) [17], has been shown to produce positive outcomes for ridge preservation. Autogenous bone is an ideal material for hard tissue defects because it has osteoinduction and osteoconduction and has no immune rejection.…”

Clinical and Histological Evaluation of Socket Grafting Using Different Types of Bone Substitute in Adult Patients

“…13,14 Studies have shown that bone augmentation procedures with the use of bone graft materials may prevent progressive bone resorption. [15][16][17][18] Autogenous bone graft is considered the gold standard in regenerative procedures because it fulfills the 3 basic requirements for bone regeneration: osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction. Osteogenesis is the mechanism of bone growth from osteoblasts.…”
