Abstract
Evaluation of The Effectiveness of Using Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate Graft for Socket Preservation after Teeth Extraction
Highlights
The alveolar socket can be defined as the bony tissue that surrounds the whole erupted tooth, and it forms in conjunction with the development and eruption of the teeth.[1]After teeth extraction, a modeling and remodeling process occurred, this process leads to many changes in the width and height of the alveolar bone, the resorption of the buccal wall is higher than the palatal and lingual wall. [2]After extraction, the absorption emerges at 2 stages
Radiographic results after 6 months showed that the average of horizontal bone absorption in the study sample was (0,575± 0.24) mm, and the absorption rate was (8.5%) while in the control group the average of horizontal bone absorption was (1,483± 0.65) and the absorption rate was (22.7%)
Where the research samples were divided into two groups, a control group where the alveolar socket is left to heal spontaneously after extraction without adding any substance, and an experimental group where Calcium Sulfate graft is inserted in the cavity post extraction without any covering membrane or any other substance and studying the changes after 6 months
Summary
The alveolar socket can be defined as the bony tissue that surrounds the whole erupted tooth, and it forms in conjunction with the development and eruption of the teeth.[1]After teeth extraction, a modeling and remodeling process occurred, this process leads to many changes in the width and height of the alveolar bone, the resorption of the buccal wall is higher than the palatal and lingual wall. [2]After extraction, the absorption emerges at 2 stages. Aim of Study: to evaluate the effectiveness of calcium sulfate in reducing bone absorption and preventing alveolitis after teeth extraction. Materials & Methods: 24 teeth were extracted; 12 sockets were immediately grafted with Calcium Sulfate after extraction 12 sockets were left to heal spontaneously without adding any material. In both groups, the horizontal bone absorption of the crestal bone was evaluated 6 months after the extraction using CBCT technique. Conclusion: The application of calcium sulfate grafts after extractions reduces dimension changes in the alveolar bone at the horizontal level, but doesn't prevent its occurrence. It can prevent the occurrence of post-extraction Alveolitis
