Bone Graft Materials for Wound Healing After Tooth Extraction
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The primary aim of the study is to determine the amount of newly formed vital bone, residual graft material, and "connective tissue/other" 18 to 20 weeks after ridge preservation is performed using DFDBA fibers alone, DFDBA particulate alone, a combination of xenograft and DFDBA particulate, or a combination of xenograft and DFDBA fibers.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for non-pregnant women, including those post-hysterectomy, tubal ligation, or menopause. Participants should be nonsmokers or light smokers (less than 10 cigarettes per day), have a tooth excluding molars needing extraction with enough bone height and space for an implant. Those with active infections other than periodontitis, heavy smokers, certain medical conditions affecting healing, or on specific medications are excluded.Inclusion Criteria
