Augmentation of single tooth extraction socket with deficient buccal walls using bovine xenograft with platelet-rich fibrin membrane.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Different techniques and materials such as bone grafts and bioactive agents have been used for alveolar ridge augmentation in extraction sockets with a defective wall, there is not a specific material or technique that has resulted in superior outcomes or prevented total bone loss.

Objectives

This clinical study aims to evaluate radiographically the effectiveness of using bovine xenograft with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane on vertical and horizontal alveolar ridge dimensional changes following tooth extraction that are complicated by buccal bone loss.

Materials and methods

This study was conducted in Egypt on fourteen patients with a single posterior tooth indicated for extraction. A preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan confirmed mor
