Soft Tissue Healing During Alveolar Ridge Preservation
Sponsor: Ain Shams University
Summary
Statement of the problem: Alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extractions is considered a challenge in oral surgery daily practice. Dental extraction is a traumatic procedure which leads to loss of alveolar bone. The alveolar bone remodeling, which occurs after tooth extraction, leads to vertical and horizontal bone volume loss. Although placentally derived allografts have been widely applied in medical procedures over the past 100 years, their use in the dental field is relatively new. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of covering versus uncovering the HAM on soft tissue healing after alveolar ridge preservation procedure using customized splints.

Interventions
Acrylic splint
The HAM particulate material will be packed into the extraction socket then the HAM will be tucked over the extraction socket then the socket plug will be maintained in place with approximating sutures using 5-0 resorbable suture material. The surgical site covered with the custom acrylic splint.
No splint
The HAM particulate material will be packed into the extraction socket then the HAM will be tucked over the extraction socket then the socket plug will be maintained in place with approximating sutures using 5-0 resorbable suture material. The surgical site will not be covered
