Role of Alloplast in Alveolar Ridge Preservation
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Extraction involves bone resorption and soft tissue contraction, events that can compromise the ideal implant placement along with other future prosthesis with functional and aesthetics limitations. Following tooth extraction, socket preservation techniques can limit bone resorption. The present study compared non grafted versus grafted extraction socket with hydroxyapatite clinically and radiographically at subsequent time interval. Materials and methods: A total of 40 patients with posterior extraction sockets were divided into two groups: 20 sockets received hydroxyapatite bone graft as a test group and 20 sockets were left for secondary healing as control group. At subsequent time intervals of 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months; alveolar ridge from both groups were evaluated clinically and radiographically. Statistical analysis was performed. Results: The mean changes in clinical width post operatively 6 months was from 10.46mm(±1.51) to 7.15mm(±1.45) in control group whereas 10.32mm(±1.51) to 8.31mm(±1.20) in test group (p <0.05). The mean radiographic height changes in control group was 17.66mm(±1.03) preoperatively to 14.52mm(±1.19) at 6 months follow up whereas changes was only from 17.37mm(±1.33) to 16.68mm(±1.40) in test group (p <0.05). Pain was more in test group than in control group at 1 month follow up (p <0.05). No pain was observed in both groups at 3 months and 6 months follow up. Infection was not present in both groups. Conclusion: Ridge preservation with hydroxyapatite bone graft can be used as an alternative treatment for maintaining ridge dimensions.
