Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare cortical and cancellous freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) materials in the preservation of alveolar bone following extraction of non-molar teeth. The primary objective is to histologically evaluate and compare the healing of extraction sockets of non-molar teeth grafted with cortical FDBA versus cancellous FDBA for ridge preservation.
