A comparative study on alveolar ridge preservation with β-TCP in combination with Hemocollagen and Hemocollagen alone-A randomized control trial.

This is a randomised, single blinded, parallel group, control, clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of bone grafting materials for socket preservation.Subjects who are advised extraction due to trauma or dental caries will be broadly grouped into three . After doing atraumatic extraction under local anaesthesia, in  group 1: Beta -TCP in combination with HC and ,in group 2: HC alone will be inserted with light pressure and stabilised by suturing.The patients will then be directed to the CBCT centre for bone analysis and this will form the baseline readings.It will record the alveolar bone width and height both buccally and lingually.The patient will then be recalled after 8weeks and another CBCT scan will be done for the same site.There will be a control group , in which no bone grafting will be added. It has been hypothesized that there will be effective bone formation observed after 8weeks in sockets with bone grafting materials and there will be minimal difference between the two materials inserted. This ridge preservation will help in giving prosthesis like implants, thus restoring the architecture ,occlusion, function and esthetics.
