Abstract

Abstract Background Alveolar ridge preservation can effectively decrease alveolar ridge resorption following tooth extraction, but it can be limited by reducing new bone formation and residual bone graft material. Efforts to develop more efficacious approaches are thus an area of active research. Purpose To assess the impact of autologous concentrated growth factors (CGF) on alveolar ridge absorption and osteogenesis following posterior tooth extraction. Materials and methods Fifty patients were randomly assigned to have extraction sockets treated with CGF or no treatment. At 10 days, 1 month, and 3 months postextraction, soft tissue color and texture were examined and evaluated with healing score. Cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed before and 3 months after extraction, while radiographic analyses were used to assess vertical and horizontal bone changes. Bone samples were collected from the extraction sockets during implant placement, and micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) scans and histological analysis were performed to evaluate new bone formation. t ‐Test or Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare data and the level of statistical significance was set at 0.05 for all analyses. Results Forty‐six patients completed the trial. Sockets in the experimental group exhibited significantly better healing score on Day 10 postextraction relative to the control group, whereas comparable healing was observed in both groups at 1 and 3 months postextraction. Experimental group exhibited reduced vertical bone changes relative to the control ( p < 0.05). Significant reductions were observed in ridge width changes at 1 and 2 mm apical to the crest ( p < 0.05), although differences at 3 and 5 mm apical to the crest were not significant. Significant differences of bone mineral density (BMD) and microarchitecture of trabecular bone were observed via micro‐CT analyses, and the experimental group had better results. Conclusion CGF application following posterior tooth extraction may reduce vertical and horizontal bone resorption and promote new bone formation.
