Vegetable Ivory Bone Material
Brief summary
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether a biobased natural vegetable ivory formulation can produce similar or better results compared to the current standard bone healing treatment.
Detailed description
The patient is identified and surgical site and sides reviewed. The patient is consented to have bilateral tooth extractions which are mirror images of each other either in the maxilla or mandible. Local anesthesia is administered and attention directed to the bilateral identified teeth. Each tooth is luxated with a straight elevator and removed with a forcep with out bony removal. The sites are curetted as indicated, irrigated with normal saline irrigation , then the sterile bone graft material (allograft and vegetable ivory bone graft) are reconstituted with sterile normal saline and placed in the tooth sockets then sutures with a 3-0 gut suture. Once hemostasis is obtained and pot operative care instructions are given, the patient is monitored for 30 minutes following the procedure then discharged.
