The OPG x ray is taken with the patient biting on a bite plate device fabricated with an embedded wire inside which is radiopague. If the distance from the wire line (the occlusal plane) to the alveolar bony height is 'a' and if the actual diameter of the metallic ball is 'b' and radiographic ball diameter is 'c' then the equation ( a×b)/c will give us the distance of the alveolar bony crest from the wire line. The measurements taken will determine if the distance of the alveolar crest from the wire line remained the same or has increased. If it remains the same, it will suggest that the scaffold material had maintained the socket and prevented alveolar bone resorption, but if the distance increases that will indicate vertical loss of alveolar bone and the extent measured can be compared with sockets without the support of an immediate post-extraction scaffold. This study will determine firstly whether the scaffold allows for bone regeneration in human alveolar sockets in the normal time and secondly whether it would help to preserve alveolar bone height as compared to cases without scaffold.
