Moldable and Particulate Bone Material in Alveolar Ridge Preservation: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aimed to determine possible histological and radiological differences in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP), using moldable bone versus particulate bone.

Methods

After tooth extraction, 39 patients (40 teeth) were randomized (1:1) to receive ARP using moldable bone materials (SBX group) or particulate bone materials (PBX group). An absorbable collagen membrane was placed over the graft material and the surgical site was sutured. Cone-beam computed tomography was taken immediately and 5 months after ARP. Bone core samples from the implantation site were obtained for histomorphometric analysis 5 months after ARP.

Results

Forty-six patients were screened and 39 of them completed the study. However, one patient who received split-mouth treatment was
