Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Dimensional changes of soft tissues and the thickness of the soft tissue covering the alveolar ridge crest measured clinically after tooth extraction and six months post-extraction 2. Bone density of the newly formed bone and assessing the dimensional changes in the buccal and lingual walls of the socket, measured using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with a Vatech X-ray device immediately after tooth extraction and six months post-extraction 3. Quality of the newly formed bone measured using histology six months after the surgical procedure | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Pain measured using a Visual Analog Score (VAS) at 1 and 7 days post-operative 2. Healing measured using the Healing Index Landry scale at 7 days post-operative 3. Soft tissue height measured using the periodontal probe (UNC-15) method at 6 months | — |
