Abstract
Alveolar ridge preservation following tooth extraction is important when implant-supported oral rehabilitation is considered. The ability to maintain the ridge allows implant placement in an ideal position, fulfilling both functional and esthetic demands. A deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) was used as a socket site filler material to maintain ridge configuration, without applying an occlusive membrane. The material was grafted and packed onto the socket sites immediately after extractions, and subsequently primary soft tissue closure was attempted. The ridge healed for 9 months before the second surgical procedure, in which the implant was placed. New bone formation was observed in all histological specimens. DBBM particles adhered to a highly osteocyte-rich woven and lamellar-type bone. Clinically and histologically, this report demonstrated DBBM particles to be an effective biocompatible filler agent in extraction sockets for ridge preservation prior to titanium fixture implantation. Randomized controlled clinical trials are needed to fully evaluate the usefulness of this material in ridge preservation after tooth extraction.Keywords
