Radiographic assessment of impacted mandibular third molar sockets filled with composite xenogenic bone graft

Abstract

The analysed parameters observed by the authors were similar to those of the control group, suggesting xenogenic graft being an acceptable material and a graft option.

The effect of acemannan sponges in post-extraction socket healing: A randomized trial

“…Therefore, sockets with a bony defect after the surgical removal of lower partially bony impacted third molars present a challenging osseous defect model to use in evaluating the clinical efficiency of biomaterials on bone regeneration [11,12,17,18]. Because of its inorganic composition (60-70%), and location near the socket, alveolar bone is recommended as a reference to assess the radiographic density of the socket and minimize errors during radiographic and image procedures [19,20]. In our study, dentin was used as an internal control.…”

Radiographic alveolar bone changes following ridge preservation with two different biomaterials

“…Intraoral radiographic examination to assess bone levels following tooth extraction (Schropp et al 2003;Munhoz et al 2006;Aimetti et al 2007), or to detect changes in infrabony defects after regenerative treatment, has been used at previous clinical studies (Zybutz et al 2000;Stavropoulos et al 2003;Liñ ares et al 2006). However, such type of analysis has specific limitations as an assessment tool, starting from the fact that periapical radiographs provide only two-dimensional images of three-dimensional structures.…”

Potential for osseous regeneration of platelet rich plasma: a comparitive study in mandibular third molar sockets

“…At 16 weeks on assessment of bone density (gray level value) shows [15], the average gray scale value for PRP site 146.9 was comparatively higher than Non PRP site at 123.…”
