Study Summary

This study will evaluate the effect of allograft bone particle size on the bone quantity and quality following socket grafting and lateral ridge augmentation in preparation for endosseous implant placement. Pre (baseline)- and post-grafting (3 months for sockets and 6 months for edentulous ridges) clinical as well as 2- and 3-dimensional radiographic measurements will be used to evaluate the differences between sites grafted with small vs. large particle sized bone allografts. Histological analysis will be performed at time of surgical re-entry of grafted sites to place the dental implants, and assessed for differences in new bone formation between the 2 types of grafts.

Primary Outcome

Compare histomorphometric amount of new bone formation (in %) between small and large particle bone allografts following ridge preservation and ridge augmentation procedures using core biopsies harvested at time of dental implant placement.
