Title: (Ongoing Study)
A Prospective Case Study Using Puros Demineralized Bone Matrix with and without Cortico-Cancellous Chips in Extraction Sockets for Alveolar Ridge Preservation
Study Objectives:
This study is aimed at clinical and histological evaluations of Puros Demineralized Bone matrix (DBM) with and without Cortico-Cancellous chips in the extraction sockets for alveolar ridge preservation of patients who are contraindicated to immediate implant placement. The specific aims are to verify the following:
- Necessary volume for blood clot is obtained by the study treatment.
- Preserve a long enough time physical integrity in order for new bone to be deposited.
- Only a minimum amount of resorption of the newly formed bone has occurred that is acceptable.
- A high rate of ridge augmentation in the healing of extraction sockets, mostly in horizontal direction.
