Bone and Soft Tissue Healing After Socket Preservation With NOVAMag or Permamem Membranes

Краткое описание

After a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone and gum tissue can shrink. Socket preservation places a bone graft in the extraction socket and covers it with a membrane to support healing before a dental implant is placed. This study will compare two membranes used with the same allogeneic bone graft. One group will receive a resorbable magnesium membrane (NOVAMag), and the other group will receive a non-resorbable polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (permamem). Participants who need a tooth extraction and later implant placement will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The extraction and grafting procedures will be standardized. Follow-up examinations will take place 7 days, 21 days, and 3 months after socket preservation. The study will assess gum healing and postoperative complications. Cone beam computed tomography scans obtained before extraction and at 3 months will be used to evaluate changes in alveolar bone volume. A bone sample will be collected from the treated site during the planned implant placement at 3 months for microscopic examination. The study aims to compare bone and soft tissue healing between the two membrane groups.
