- Patient must be of ASA I or ASA II classification
- Patient who requires single tooth extraction
- Patient whose tooth to be extracted is bounded by adjacent teeth
- Patient who is suitable for dental implant therapy after extraction
- Patient with any pre-existing infection or abscess at the site of tooth extraction must be treated and resolved first prior to inclusion in the study
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patient with known allergy to biopolymer materials
- Patient who are smokers
- Patient who has undergone therapeutic radiation for head and neck malignant disease
- Maxillary lateral incisor and molars; or mandibular central and lateral incisor extraction sites

Active Comparator
PCL-TCP scaffold
Geistlich Bio-Gide collagen membrane
During the surgery, the PCL-TCP scaffold will be shaped by cutting and shaving with a scalpel so as to fit the extraction socket snugly at the crestal half to two-thirds aspect. A Geistlich Bio-Gide collagen membrane will be placed over the scaffold at the crestal aspect of the socket. The periosteum of the buccal flap will then be incised to allow a tension-free primary closure with 4/0 Vicryl® suture.
No space filler will be inserted in the extraction socket but similar to the test group, a Geistlich Bio-Gide collagen membrane will be placed over the crestal aspect of the socket and the periosteum of the buccal flap will be incised to allow a tension-free primary closure with 4/0 Vicryl® suture. denture overlying the extraction site will be completely relieved.
