Ridge preservation of extraction sockets with chronic pathology using Bio‐Oss^® Collagen with or without collagen membrane: an experimental study in dogs

Abstract

Ridge preservation in diseased extraction sockets could compensate for buccal bone resorption by contact osteogenesis surrounding the bone graft particles at the bucco-coronal area during socket healing, and the application of a collagen membrane at the entrance of the socket is useful for preserving graft material at the coronal part of the socket.
