Socket Preservation after Tooth Extraction: Particulate Autologous Bone vs. Deproteinized Bovine Bone

Abstract

Background: The technique of socket preservation after tooth extraction allows for less volumetric decrease after tooth extraction. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate differences between alveolar socket preservation performed with deproteinized bovine bone graft and autologous particulate bone graft taken from the mandibular ramus. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study enrolled a total of 21 consecutive patients. A total of 11 patients underwent socket preservation with deproteinized bovine bone graft and collagen matrix (group A), and 10 patients underwent socket preservation performed with particulate autologous bone taken from the mandibular ramus and collagen matrix (group B). All patients received cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) before socket preservation and after four months. Alveolar bone width (ABW) values and alveolar bone height (ABH) values were measured at the first and second CBCT, and the reduction of the values in the two groups was compared. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test for independent variables, and p values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between ABW reduction of group A and ABW reduction of group B (t-test value p = 0.28). There were no statistically significant differences between ABH reduction of group A and ABH reduction of group B (t-test value p = 0.10). Conclusions: In this retrospective study, no statistical differences were found between the group that received autologous particulate bone compared to the group that received deproteinized bovine bone in socket preservation.

Evaluation of Dental Root Development Regarding Maxillary Canine Eruption Status after Secondary Alveolar Bone Grafting in Patients with Cleft Lip and Palate

“…In contrast to a traditional approach bootstrapping does not assume any underlying distributions of the data [26]. The non-parametric bootstrap test can be used for small sample size studies [26] and is reliable for a sample of eight or greater [11], which our study exceeds.…”

“…Alveolar bone grafting is a technique used for bone atrophy in order to restore an adequate bone volume: autologous, heterologous and xenograft are possible materials used in this technique [9][10][11]. Alveolar bone grafting can be performed at different stages Diagnostics 2023, 13, 1642 2 of 10 in children with cleft lip and palate, with the classification based on the dentition of the patient [4].…”

Difference in Buccal Gingival Thickness between the Mandible and Maxilla in the Aesthetic Zone: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…The presence of gingival recessions in the aesthetic zone may impact implant-supported prosthodontics after tooth extraction due to the resulting asymmetry of the implant bone level. To ensure optimal results in implant-supported prosthodontics after tooth extraction, the use of socket preservation techniques and subsequent soft tissue augmentation should be considered [ 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Gingival thickness exhibits significant variations both among individuals and within the same individual.…”

Use of Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin Accompanied by Bone Graft in Socket Endurance: A Radiographic and Histological Study

“…Many experimental studies have demonstrated that the coronal section of the dental extraction sockets of the buccal bone wall commonly lacks bundle bone [ 8 , 9 ]. After that, tooth extraction often leads to poor functional ability of the bundle bone [ 6 , 10 , 11 ]. It is resorbed due to osteoclastic activity, which changes the buccal crest dimensions.…”
