Ridge Preservation After Tooth Extraction Using Cortical Versus Cancellous Freeze Dried Bone Allograft

The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio40 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to compare cortical and cancellous freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) materials in the preservation of alveolar bone following extraction of non-molar teeth. The primary objective is to histologically evaluate and compare the healing of extraction sockets of non-molar teeth grafted with cortical FDBA versus cancellous FDBA for ridge preservation.
