The research is about socket preservation using the ice cream cone technique including collagen membrane and xenograft compared to spontaneous healing.

Atraumatic extraction is done and the socket is either left for spontaneous healing or the ice cream cone technique using the collagen membrane and the socket is filled with xenograft.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Systemic conditions/disease that contraindicated surgery.
• Radiation therapy in the head and neck region or chemotherapy during the 12 months prior to surgery.
