Alveolar Ridge Preservation on Maxillary Molars Using Solvent Dehydrated Bone Allograft and d-PTFE Membrane: A CBCT and Histologic Human Pilot Study.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate vertical and horizontal alveolar resorption after the extraction of eight single maxillary molars using solvent-dehydrated bone allograft (Puros) covered with a nonresorbable membrane for ridge preservation. At implant placement 4 months later, ridge dimensions were measured clinically and radiographically and compared to baseline, and a histologic analysis was performed. The mean buccal height decreased by 1.51 mm at midpoint, 0.88 mm mesially, and 1.16 mm distally. The implants were placed without additional ridge augmentation, and six of eight required an internal sinus elevation. Within the limits of this study, this technique succeeded in preserving the alveolar bone.
