After tooth extraction, there is a subsequent bone loss as a part of the natural healing of the tissue. Up to 50% of bone loss occurs during the first three months after extraction, jeopardizing a possible implant treatment. Alveolar ridge preservation techniques reduce bone loss, allowing a future implant treatment. Different bone filling materials have been used with good clinical results. The second-generation platelet concentrates (L-PRF) have recently been shown to induce bone regeneration when filling the socket after extraction, with significant biological and economic advantages. The hypothesis of this study is to test whether or not the use of L-PRF in alveolar ridge preservation results in a non-inferior horizontal radiographic change compared with the combination of a xenogeneic bone substitute with a collagen matrix.
This study is a non inferiority clinical controlled trial of parallel groups. Study Intervention and Indication
After single premolar extractions in the maxilla or mandible area, patients will be randomly allocated to either one of the two treatment modalities:
Study objectives Primary Objective The present study aims to test whether or not the use of L-PRF in alveolar ridge preservation results in non-inferior horizontal ridge width changes measured at - 1 mm below the most coronal aspect of the alveolar crest compared to the combination of a xenogeneic bone substitute material with a collagen matrix, 4 months after tooth extraction.
Clinical procedures
Extraction surgery
Partially edentulous patients in need of a single-tooth extraction in the premolar region (maxilla or mandible), with two neighboring natural teeth, will be included. All surgical procedures will be performed under local anesthesia. After disinfection of the surgical site with 0.2% chlorhexidine solution (PerioAidĀ® Treatment, Barcelona, Spain), local anesthetics (Lidocaine HCl 2% with epinephrine 1:100,000; XXX) will be administered by infiltration at the respective buccal and lingual sites at maxilla or inferior alveolar nerve block technique on the mandible. The tooth will be luxated first with straight and angled elevators and then carefully extracted with forceps without raising a flap. After that, patients will be randomly assigned to either one of the two treatment modalities:
Clinical procedures A venepuncture will be performed before any surgery (irrespective of the later randomization). Six plastic sterile 9 mL tubes without anticoagulant will be drawn with venous blood from the median basilica vein, median cubital vein, or median cephalic vein. Preparation of the L-PRF clots and membranes will be performed as previously described. In brief, within 60 seconds after the blood draws, the tubes will be centrifuged at 408 g RCF for 12 min using a tabletop centrifuge (IntraSpinTM, IntraLockĀ®, Florida, USA). Following centrifugation, L-PRF clots will be removed from the tube, separated from the remaining red thrombus at the base with tweezers, and gently compressed into membranes using a metal rack and a metal plate.
Extraction surgery
Partially edentulous patients needing a single-tooth extraction in the premolar region (maxilla or mandible), with two neighboring natural teeth, will be included in the study. All surgical procedures will be performed under local anesthesia. After disinfection of the surgical site with 0.2% chlorhexidine solution (PerioAidĀ® Treatment, Barcelona, Spain), local anesthetics (Lidocaine HCl 2% with epinephrine 1:100,000; XXX) will be administered by infiltration at the respective buccal and lingual sites at maxilla or inferior alveolar nerve block technique on the mandible. The tooth will be luxated first with straight and angled elevators and then carefully extracted with forceps without raising a flap. After that, patients will be randomly assigned to either one of the two treatment modalities:
In group L-PRF group, 2-5 PRF clots, depending on the size of the socket, will be inserted and compressed with a large plunger until they reach the alveolar crest as previously described (Temmerman et al., 2016). The site will thereafter be covered with 2-3 L-PRF membranes. Then, crossed horizontal mattress suture will be placed, followed by single interrupted sutures for better stabilization (Vicryl 4.0 EthiconTM, Johnsson & Johnsson, New Jersey, New York, USA). No efforts will be undertaken to obtain primary wound closure. The grafted socket will be left to heal for 4 months.
In group DBBM+CM, the socket will be grafted with xenogeneic bone substitute material (up to the palatal/lingual bone crest) and covered with a collagen matrix. Single interrupted sutures (Vicryl 4.0 EthiconTM, Johnsson & Johnsson, New Jersey, New York, USA) will be placed to stabilize the collagen matrix. Sutures will be removed within 7-10 days. The grafted socket will then be left to heal for 4 months.
The xenogenic material DBBM will be Bio-Oss CollagenĀ®, and collagen matrix Bio-GideĀ® both delivered as the Combi-Kit Collagen (Geistlich Pharma AG - Switzerland).
Immediately after surgery, despite the treatment group, the patient will be scanned using a CBCT (cone beam computed tomography)
Implant surgery
At 4 months, patients from both groups will be recalled for implant placement. Before the surgery, a CBCT and an impression will be taken. Moreover, clinical data will be recorded. Upon local anesthesia, a full flap will be raised, and a biopsy will be taken in the center of the implant site using a trephine drill (inner diameter 2mm). Thereafter, the implant will be placed according to the manufacturer's recommendation. A submerged healing protocol will be allowed. Final reconstructions will be inserted 4 months later.
Follow-up examinations Follow-up examinations will be performed at baseline 2 (10 days after crown insertion), 6 months, and 1 year after final restoration.

| Bone socket horizontal and vertical changes evaluated using cbct ((cone beam computed tomography) | Cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging will be used to assess the primary outcome (horizontal radiographic changes at -1 mm below the alveolar crest) in both groups between baseline 1 (immediately post socket preservation), visit 4 (4 months after socket preservation), and 12 months after implant rehabilitation. Linear measurements will be performed. The most apical point of the extraction socket will be defined, and two reference lines will be subsequently drawn. The vertical reference line will be drawn in the center of the extraction socket crossing the apical reference point. A horizontal reference line will be drawn perpendicular to the vertical line crossing the apical reference point. Based on these reference lines, the horizontal ridge width will then be measured at -1 mm below the alveolar crest (HW-1). The same procedure will be applied for assessing the horizontal ridge width changes will then be measured at -3 mm (HW-3) and 5- mm (HW-5) below the alveolar crest. | first cbct immediately after socket preservation surgery, second cbct 4 months after surgery, 12 months after the final restoration of the implant. |

| Radiographic evaluation | Intraoral calibrated X-rays images will be taken. The digitally obtained x-rays will be transferred into a software program and the pitch distance between two implant threads will be used for calibration.
