Socket Preservation - A Randomized Clinical Implementation in a Student Setting

After extracting a tooth, the alveolar socket is cleaned. A bone replacement material (Bio-Oss Collagen) is then placed into the socket and sutured with a collagen membrane (Mucograft-Seal). Patients will receive Antibiotics (Augmentin 875mg/125mg OR Dalacin C 300mg) and pain medication (Seractil forte 400 mg). Patients will be advised to carefully rinse with Chlorhexamed forte for one week. Sutures will be removed after two weeks.
