Hard and Soft Tissue Dimensional Change After Consecutive Extractions and Unassisted Socket Healing in the Esthetic Zone

Overview

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the post-extraction hard and soft tissue dimension changes in patients requiring consecutive extractions and unassisted socket healing in the anterior maxilla. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is significant alveolar ridge resorption observed at center sites after consecutive extractions * Is significant alveolar ridge resorption observed at the interalveolar septum after consecutive extractions, are different extraction sites associated with significantly different bone resorption * Is a thick or thin wall phenotype associated with the amount of bone resorption * Is soft tissue thickness change associated with the corresponding location (extraction site or interalveolar septum) and post-extraction thickness of the bone * Is the interdental papilla height significantly affected after extractions. Participants will undergo consecutive (two) extractions and will be evaluated after subsequent unassisted socket healing for 8 weeks.
