Connective Tissue Graft and Leucocyte - Platelet Rich Fibrin in Alveolar Ridge Preservation

Periosteal Inhibition Technique With Connective Tissue Graft and Leucocyte- Platelet Rich Fibrin in Alveolar Ridge Preservation: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The purpose of our randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate radiographic bone dimensional changes and soft tissue healing and thickness after teeth extraction and the implementation of alveolar ridge preservation (RAP) procedures that will involve the application of L-PRF inside the socket in association with a connective tissue graft (CTG) used as a barrier with the periosteal inhibition technique (PI). The present experimental treatment (test group) will be compared with an active comparator (control group) which will involve the insertion of L-PRF alone inside the socket.

• Age > 18 years old;
• General good health (ASA I-II);
• Adequate oral hygiene (Full Mouth Plaque Score ≤ 20%, Full Mouth Bleeding Score ≤ 20%);
• Presence of one or more hopeless teeth requiring extraction.
