Filter by:After tooth extraction, the residual alveolar ridge generally provides limited bone volume because of ongoing, progressive bone resorption. Healing events within post-extraction sockets reduce the dimensions of the socket over time. Therefore, socket preservation became an indispensable procedure as well as fundamental to prevent bone loss following tooth extraction. Preservation, by the name, is the maintenance of the socket, which is essentially the height and width of the gap that is left after the tooth is removed. It is done by placing a graft material or scaffold immediately into the socket of an extracted tooth to presto preserve bone height, width and density
Despite the numerous studies describing the benefits of PRGF (plasma rich in growth factors) and Statins separately , there has been a lack of clinical investigation into the simultaneous use of these agents in socket augmentation. Therefore the main objective of this study is to evaluate socket bone dimensions and quality following the use of PRGF derived fibrin scaffold as a carrier for Atorvastatin in socket augmentation clinically and histomorphometrically.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinically, histologically and radiographically the healing of extraction sockets with Zimmer's Puros® allograft compared to creos™ (creo™ Nobel Biocare,), a low-cost allograft material, 90 days following exodontia.
