Comparing the Histological Assessment Following Ridge Preservation Using a Composite Bovine-Derived Xenograft Versus an Alloplast Hydroxyapatite-Sugar Cross-Linked Collagen Matrix

This randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the histological healing and alveolar ridge dimensional changes following ridge preservation using two different xenograft/collagen matrices. The findings of this study reveal that group B, when used for ridge preservation, yields statistically significantly more vital bone over a 4-month healing period.
