Determinants of Bone Dimensional Changes After Extraction and Alveolar Ridge Preservation
Marquette University
Summary
The main purpose of the study is to measure and localize immediate post extraction changes i.e. socket expansion versus no width change along the socket wall and identify whether the immediate post-extraction ridge width condition (expansion or no change) is a determinant of buccolingual ridge width and height changes 4 months following extraction and ridge preservation.
Description
The null hypothesis for this study is that there is no difference in bone ridge width and height changes 4 months following extraction and alveolar ridge preservation at sites that undergo immediate post-extraction socket expansion or no immediate post-extraction ridge width change. Patients of the Graduate Periodontics Clinic at Marquette University School of Dentistry scheduled for extraction, bone graft and resorbable membrane will be recruited for this study. After providing informed consent and prior to local anesthesia and extraction, the following parameters will be recorded: age, gend…
