Mix of Demineralized Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft and Deproteinized Bovine Bone Mineral: a Possible Solution for Alveolar Ridge Preservation?
The purpose of the study is to compare a new grafting material for alveolar ridge preservation to a commonly used and well studied material. Alveolar ridge dimensions as well as histology will be compared.
