Purpose of the single arm study is to clinically and histologically evaluate alloplastic in-situ hardening, moldable beta-tricalcium phosphate(TCP) bone graft material and polylactide membrane in alveolar ridge preservation following extraction of non-molar teeth with non-containable extraction sockets.

easy-graft will be grafted to a single extraction socket and covered by polylactide membrane to facilitate regeneration of new bone in order to preserve alveolar ridge dimensions.

Change in Radiographic Measurements of Bone Ridge Dimensions
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was taken at the ridge preservation procedure (baseline) and 3 months after the procedure. The horizontal ridge width was measured at 1, 3, 5 and 7 mm below the alveolar bone crest. Overall change is the average of all measurements.
Time frame: Change from Baseline at 3 months
Change in Digital Measurements of Soft Tissue Dimensions
Pre- and post-surgery casts were made from impressions and scanned with a digital scanner. The soft tissue width was measured at 1, 3 and 5 mm below the ridge crest. Overall change is the average of all measurements.
Time frame: Change from baseline at 5 months
