Extraction Socket Management Using Connective Tissue Graft Versus Mucograft®

Extraction Socket Management Using Connective Tissue Graft Versus Mucograft®: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims at assessing the hard and soft tissues remodelling of the alveolar crest after extraction socket managements in the aesthetic areas:

• 3D radiographic evaluation (CT scan) was performed post extraction and 3 months after at the time of implant placement. (Outcomes 1: Hard tissues analyses )
• Impressions, models and 3D analyses of the treated area allowed studying external soft tissue remodeling at different time points after extraction. (Outcomes 2: Soft tissues analyses )

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients needing an extraction in the aesthetic area to be replace with an implant (incisive, canine or premolar)
• Good general health (ASA 1, 2)
• Controlled periodontitis
• No age restriction

Exclusion Criteria:

• Extraction socket with buccal bone defect / buccal bone wall dehiscence
• Smokers > 10 cigarettes per day
• Immune system disease
• Bone disease or treatment by medicines interfering with bone metabolism
