The aim of this study is to test the hyaluronic acid hydrogel impact on the healing acceleration of xenogenic bone substitutes used in ridge preservation. Following tooth extraction, bone particles are mixed with the hyaluronic acid gel and grafted in the tooth socket. at the implant placement phase, a cone beam computer assisted tomography file is recorded in order to compare it with the baseline and a biopsy to evaluate the histological consequences.

Radiological assessement of the boe resorption
the baseline if the CBCT is compared to the 4 months post-op to assess the bone resorption
Time frame: 4 months
Histomorphometric analysis
During implant placement, a bone biopsy is harvested and stained with different colorants to assess microscopically the biological healing
Time frame: 4 months
