Extraction Site Management Using a Natural Bone Mineral Containing Collagen: Rationale and Retrospective Case Study
The International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry, 09/04/09

Ackermann K–L – Socket or ridge preservation is performed to maintain the contour of the alveolar ridge prior to conventional or implant–based prosthetic therapy. In this retrospective analysis of consecutive subjects, a natural bone mineral containing collagen was grafted into 110 sockets in 62 patients. The sites were left open to heal. Based on external measurements with a periodontal probe, the soft tissue volume and contour were largely preserved at all sites, irrespective of the initial defect morphology.
