Summary
An important result of healing after tooth extraction is a reduction in dimensions of the
remaining bone at that site. This reduction of bone volume precludes successful restoration
of the space using a dental implant. Bone augmentation has shown promise in clinical reports
to reduce this loss of bone volume, thus allowing implant placement and restoration. The
purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of guided bone
regeneration around dental implants placed in fresh extraction sockets.
