Summary
This 14 weeks longitudinal study will be conducted from March 2018 to June 2020, with a 40 participants. No subjects has received placebo medication at any point in the research procedures.
Null hypothesis: The use of L-PRF plug, in combination with non-resorbable, open barrier membrane technique to fill the extraction sockets will have no effect on the quality of the newly formed bone nor on the dimensional changes of the ridge, compared to non-resorbable, open barrier membrane technique with natural blood clot.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- The subject must have an unsalvageable tooth that is planned for extraction and delayed implant placement.
- The tooth should be free of acute odontogenic infections.
- Extraction sockets with minimal to moderate bony defect.
Exclusion Criteria
- Any patient who is planned for full mouth extraction.
- Heavy smoker (more than 10 cigarettes a day).
- History of malignancy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy.
- Immunosuppressive disease.
- Uncontrolled systemic disease.
- Any contraindications to surgical procedures.
- Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- For multi-rooted teeth, if the most coronal part of the interradicular septum is less than 5 mm below the crest of the bone.
