Brief Summary

Alveolar ridge resorption after tooth extraction is a physiological process that continues throughout the patient's life due to the loss of the periodontal ligament and lack of mechanical stimulation. Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) techniques aim to minimize dimensional changes in the ridge after tooth extraction. These techniques involve grafting the socket to fill the bed and/or sealing it with a biomaterial. Currently, there is a polynucleotide and hyaluronic acid-based gel (Regenfast®) on the market that has proven useful in treating residual periodontal defects. Hyaluronic acid-based gels also appear to enhance the regenerative potential of critical bone defects in both in-vitro studies on rats and clinical studies. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the clinical and histological effects of polynucleotide and hyaluronic acid-based gel in alveolar preservation procedures.

GroupInterventionDescription
DBBM + collagen matrixAlveolar ridge preservation using DBBM + collagen matrixAn alveolar ridge preservation will be performed using particulate xenograft DBBM (Bio-Oss, Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland), and the alveolus will be sealed with a collagen matrix (Mucograft Seal, Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland).
DBBM + Regenfast + collagen matrixAlveolar ridge preservation using DBBM + Regenfast + collagen matrixAn alveolar preservation will be performed by means of a particulate DBBM xenograft (Bio-Oss, Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland) mixed with polynucleotide and hyaluronic acid-based gel (Regenfast®). The alveolus will be sealed with a porcine collagen membrane (Mucograft Seal, Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Histomorphometric results3 months

After 3 months of the ARP, A trephine with an internal diameter of 2.5 mm and a maximum length of 15 mm will be used to extract a bone core for histological analysis. Histological analyses will be performed on the entire sample area by calibrated and blinded examiners using open-source software (ImageJ, NIH). The areas of mineralized tissue and remaining xenograft material will be quantified based on their appearance and expressed as a percentage of the total area. The remaining area in the sample will be classified as non-mineralized tissue.

Secondary Outcome Measures
