ABSTRACT: Background
Various approaches are used for alveolar ridge preservation (ARP); however, there is no standard method or material.Purpose
To investigate the effect of ARP with a dense polytetrafluoroethylene (d-PTFE) membrane and freeze-dried irradiated allogenic bone for sockets with bone deficiency.Materials and methods
Thirty-four patients (with sockets exhibiting ?3 mm hard tissue loss in ?1 walls) were randomized to undergo natural socket healing (control) or ARP with a d-PTFE membrane and freeze-dried irradiated allogenic bone (test group). After 4 months, horizontal and vertical ridge changes were measured using cone beam computed tomography.Results
Ridge width at l mm below the ridge crest demonstrated significantly less change in the test group (median?=2.3; Q1?=?0.6; Q3?=?4.3 mm) than in the control group (median?=3.9; Q1?=2.6; Q3?=?7.8 mm; P?=?.021). There was no significant difference between the two groups in horizontal ridge changes at 3 and 5 mm below the crest or vertical changes (P?> .05). Requirement for bone augmentation at implant placement was significantly reduced in the test group compared to the control group (P?ConclusionARP with a d-PTFE membrane and freeze-dried irradiated allogenic bone substitute reduced horizontal bone resorption in sockets with bone deficiency.
