The goal of this clinical trial is to histologically, clinically, and radiographically evaluate the healing sequelae of periodontally compromised extraction sockets grafted with Bio-Oss Collagen® at 3 and 6 months following tooth extraction in molar sites. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does healing time influence the histologic, clinical, and radiographic outcomes following socket grafting (alveolar ridge preservation) in periodontally compromised extraction sockets.
Researchers will compare a healing time of 3 months to a healing time of 6 months (conventional healing duration) to see if a shorter duration is viable for implant placement.
Participants will:
Take a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan to prepare for the surgical procedure.
Undergo tooth extraction and the extraction socket will be grafted with Bio-Oss Collagen® and a collagen membrane Bio-Gide® will be placed to stabilize the graft material.
Return at 2 weeks for suture removal and either 3- or 6-months post-extraction for implant placement.
Return at 2 weeks post-implant placement for suture removal, 3 months for prosthesis fabrication, 4 months for final prosthesis loading, and 1 year post-loading.
