Does defect configuration affect the outcomes of alveolar ridge preservation? An experimental in vivo study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the bone healing potential of 1-, 2-, and 3-wall defects following alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) treatment, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of ARP as a treatment option for destructive sites. METHODS: <0.05. RESULTS: =0.029). An increased percentage of mineralization was observed with a greater number of remaining bony walls, although this finding did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of this study, ARP treatment for compromised sockets appears to yield a higher percentage of mineralization compared to SH. Although the effectiveness of the remaining bony walls was limited, their presence appeared to improve the percentage of mineralization in ARP treatment.
