Radiographic assessment of periosteal inhibition technique versus one-piece autologous graft in socket preservation: A randomized clinical trial.

Description :

After tooth extraction, significant alveolar ridge resorption occurs mainly within the first 8 weeks and predominantly on the buccal aspect potentially compromising implant placement, especially in the anterior region. Alveolar ridge preservation techniques aim to limit these changes and commonly involve atraumatic extraction and bone grafting; however, grafted sites often result in particle-to-implant contact and limited control over ridge morphology. Periosteal inhibition (PI) is a graft-free technique that uses a dense PTFE membrane to inhibit osteoclast migration, thereby reducing bone resorption while preserving ridge morphology. While many studies have compared different graft materials, few use fully automated assessment methods, and none have compared PI with autologous grafts. Therefore, this study aims to radiographically compare one-piece autologous grafting with periosteal inhibition and to evaluate the effectiveness of the PI technique.
