Background
When a tooth extraction is performed, inmediatte placing of an implant is one way of treatment but rigde shape must be preserved in any case. Filling the gap with a biomaterial is recomended for this porpouse.
Aims
To compare two different bovine-derived xenografts for ridge shape preservation simultaneous with implant insertion in fresh sockets.
Methods
10 cases of immediate implant placing and ridge preservation were treated filling the gap with Bio-Oss ® small granules - 0.25 - 1 mm and 10 with Osteodens® with the same size particles. All the gaps were filled mixing the xenograft with saline solution, and the socket was seal with an epithelial connective free graft.CTBC were obtained previous to the extraction and after 6 months. All the images were taken with the same CB device and analized in the same screen. Taking in account visible references in the bone pre and post images were super imposed. The width of the alveolar ridge was measure and the differences between pre and post images were analized with Image Pro plus software. Statistical analize was performed.
Results
The mean modification of the alveolar width was 0.38 (SD 0.39) for Bio-Oss and 0.69 (SD 0.56) for Osteodens. The differences were not statistical significant (p=0.05)
Conclusions
Although the changes in the rigde witdh were less when using Bio-Oss the differences were not statiscally significant. Nevertheless studies with a larger sample are needed to understand the clinical implications of these results
