The efficiency of two different synthetic bone graft materials on alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction: a split-mouth study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Alveolar Bone loss occurs frequently during the first six months after tooth extraction. Various studies have proposed different methods to reduce as much as possible the atrophy of the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction. Filling the socket with biomaterials after extraction can reduce the resorption of the alveolar ridge. We compared the height of the alveolar process at the mesial and distal aspects of the extraction site and the resorption rate was calculated after the application of HA/β-TCP or synthetic co-polymer polyglycolic - polylactic acid PLGA mixed with blood to prevent socket resorption immediately and after tooth extraction.

Methods

The study was conducted on 24 extraction sockets of impacted mandibular third molars bilaterally, vertically, and co
