About this trial
After tooth extraction, a progressive alveolar bone resorption is observed. Alveolar ridge preservation consists of placing a biomaterial within the extraction socket and covering it with a membrane.
This procedure helps limit physiological bone resorption, making the soft and hard tissue profile of the edentulous site more prosthetically favorable.
