ABSTRACT
This prospective study investigated clinically and radiologically the effectiveness of the use of a combined hard and soft tissue graft retrieved from the maxillary tuberosity and designed for alveolar ridge preservation following tooth extraction. Seven patients scheduled for a single mono-rooted tooth extraction were included in the study. After atraumatic extraction, sockets were filled with a "one-piece" dual tissue graft harvested from the tuberosity using an adjusted trephine. CBCTs were performed before the extraction and 4 months after ridge preservation, to analyze the vertical and horizontal alterations of the ridge, using ITK-Snap software. Clinical measurements of both soft and hard tissues were also assessed during the extraction and implant placement. All sites healed uneventfully. After 4 months, the 3D super-imposition of both CBCTs showed a mean bone volume resorption of 65 ± 76.7 mm3 (10.2 ± 10%). The mean horizontal reduction at 2, 4, and 6 mm from the top of the crest was respectively 1.5 ± 1.3 mm, 0.47 ± 1.4 mm and 0.57 ± 0.7 mm, while the mean vertical loss was 0.026 mm ± 2 mm. The mean soft tissue horizontal gain was 1.73 ± 1.12 mm. The "one-piece" autologous tuberosity graft was proven to be a safe and effective alveolar ridge preservation technique and may represent a feasible, user-friendly, time saving, low-cost solution for minimizing dimensional loss following tooth extraction.
