The hypothesis tested in this clinical trial is that a biomimetic synthetic bone graft substitute (MimetikOss, Mimetis Biomaterials) with similar properties to those of human bone can reach a clinical outcome non inferior to that of a deproteinized bovine bone matrix bone graft substitute (Bio-Oss, Geistlisch) in an alveolar ridge preservation procedure followed by implant placement in terms of bone volume changes (primary end point), bone histological observation implant stability and bone level changes (secondary end points).
