Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To assess the healing outcomes at buccal dehiscence defects after 4 months following implant placement immediately into extraction sockets (IPIES) and filled with a mixture of synthetic hydroxyl apatite (HA) 60% and β-tri-calcium phosphate (β-TCP) 40% in comparison with leaving a blood clot. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eight Labrador dogs were used, and an implant was placed immediately following tooth extraction into the distal alveolus of the third premolars, bilaterally. Standardized buccal defects, 8 mm in depth and 4 mm in w
