ClinConnect Summary

The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to assess the volumetric and radiographic ridge contour changes following alveolar ridge preservation using Vestibular socket preservation in patient with type II fresh extraction sockets, versus ice cream cone technique.

In patients needing extraction in anterior maxilla with type II sockets, there will be no difference between the Vestibular socket preservation and ice cream cone technique regarding the changes in alveolar ridge contour.
