In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The aim of this study is to test the use of a bovine-derived bone graft combined with a polynucleotides-rich hyaluronic acid (PNHA) gel for the preservation of the bone after a tooth extraction (alveolar ridge preservation) and to test the performance of a fully-digital workflow to rehabilitate the site with a dental implant. 40 patients in need for a single tooth extraction will be recruited at Centro di Odontoiatria, Università di Parma and they will be randomly assigned to 2 groups: extraction and spontaneous healing or extraction and regeneration of the site with a bovine-derived bone graft combined with a PNHA gel. At 4 months after extraction an implant will be placed in the extraction site, which will be rehabilitated with a fully-digital workflow and patients will be followed up at up to 12 months post rehabilitation. Two 3D x-rays with a small field of view will be performed imm
