Alveolar ridge preservation in beagle dogs using carbonate apatite bone substitute

Granular-shaped carbonate apatite (CO3Ap) bone substitute has demonstrated good clinical results, especially in the augmentation procedure, because it high osteoconductivity and can be replaced by a new bone. This study aimed to evaluate potential usefulness of CO3Ap for alveolar ridge preservation beagle dogs during 9-week follow-up period after surgery. Reconstruction extraction sockets with granules (CO3Ap group) allowed approximately 1.0 mm higher height than that blood clot (control at 4 9 weeks Additionally, measured area buccal aspect group was 2 mm2 larger control Continuity from side palatal restored, maintaining its contour The amount bony tissue, mature bone, part statistically surgery even though complete replacement not observed within weeks. In conclusion, have preservation.
