Study Group
The tooth will be extracted automatically, tooth sectioning will be performed if necessary for multi-rooted teeth to minimize trauma. Alveolar ridge preservation with blood platelet concentrate: heat-treated albumin (Alb-PRF) and advanced platelet-rich fibrin. The experimental site will be filled with A-PRF plugs/membranes until level flushed with the level of bone. An additional Alb-PRF membrane will be tucked and inserted below the buccal and oral flap. Surgical flaps will not be raised. Soft tissue will be tunnelled and undermined for insertion of the Alb-PRF membrane. The extraction site and membranes will be stabilized by cross-mattress sutures and allowed for secondary intention healing.
Control Group
The tooth will be extracted automatically, tooth sectioning will be performed if necessary for multi-rooted teeth to minimize trauma. Cross mattress suture will be applied and site allowed to heal naturally.
