Alveolar Ridge Preservation by Socket Seal Techniques (RCT)
Alveolar Bone Resorption
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Alveolar Bone Resorption focused on measuring socket seal, randomized controlled clinical trial, alveolar ridge preservation, polylactic-glycolic acid membrane, free gingival graft, spontaneous healing
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Medication that interferes with bone metabolism
- Pregnancy or lactation
- Multiple extractions
- Absence of adjacent teeth
- Loss of buccal bone, either due to periodontal disease or because of traumatic extraction

Free gingival graft
Polylactic-Glycolic Acid membrane
Routine treatment of the extraction socket. Extraction of the tooth and suturing of the extraction socket with resorbable suture PGA 5/0 (polygalactic acid 5/0 sutures; PGA, medipac, Greece).
Extraction of the tooth, placement of a Free Gingival Graft taken from the palate and adjusted to seal the socket opening and stabilize it by resorbable sutures PGA 5/0 (polygalactic acid 5/0 sutures; PGA, medipac, Greece).
Extraction of the tooth, adjustment of the Polylactic-Glycolic Acid membrane (PLGA,Tisseos®, Biomedical Tissues, Septodont, France) over the socket opening resting by 1 mm over the alveolar crest of the extraction socket. Tissues are sutured over the barrier by resorbable sutures PGA 5/0 (polygalactic acid 5/0 sutures; PGA, medipac, Greece).
