The purpose of this study is to assess healing after tooth extraction with simultaneous socket augmentation (bone grafting during the same appointment as the extraction) when the surgeon uses a surgical microscope, compared to when the surgeon uses dental loupes (magnifiers that are mounted on the surgeon's glasses). These devices magnify and shine light on the area where the surgeon operates.
After a tooth is extracted, a hole is left in the bone called a socket. During the first year of healing after a tooth extraction, there may be up to 60% loss of bone volume at the site. Loss of bone at the edentulous ridge (toothless area) may make it more difficult to place dental implants later. Dental socket grafting is performed to reduce bone resorption after tooth extraction. Grafting involves filling the socket with bone graft (donated human cadaver derived) and covering it with a protective collagen membrane. This graft prevents resorption of the ridge and is slowly replaced with the patient's own bone. The investigators will be trying to determine if bone healing is better if the surgeon uses more powerful magnification.
