Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Soft tissue healing in the post-extraction region. The clinical evaluation and an evaluation form prepared by the researcher will be used for analysis. This form will include evaluations regarding wound closure, bone exposure and presence of edema, these variables being evaluated by the alternatives YES and No. .As for the presence of bleeding, tissue color, suppuration, color and consistency of the scar tissue, a score scale from 1 to 3 will be used, which will be assigned this grade for each item. This evaluation will be performed after 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90 days postoperatively

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Patient's pain level, where, to assess, a visual analogue scale will be used, where the participant will assign a value from 0 to 10 regarding the level of pain felt. Another secondary outcome will be the healing of the bone tissue, which will be performed by performing a cone beam computed tomography immediately after the extraction and another tomography performed 90 days after the extraction.
