Socket Preservation Using Autogenous Dentin (SPAD)

May 20, 2026 updated by: University of Ostrava

Socket Preservation After Tooth Extraction Using Autogenous Dentin in Comparison With Other Techniques

Tooth extraction leads to a substantial reduction in alveolar bone volume, with up to 25% loss within the first year and up to 40-60% within three years. This prospective randomized clinical study aims to compare four commonly used methods of alveolar ridge preservation, evaluating their effectiveness in maintaining bone volume for later prosthetic or implant rehabilitation. Alveolar dimensions will be measured using calibrated CBCT imaging pre-extraction and at six months post-extraction.

Detailed Description

The study evaluates four different approaches to alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction. Eligible patients aged 18-70 years will undergo minimally traumatic extraction. Four treatment modalities will be compared: 1) Spontaneous healing secured with a stitch (control group), 2) Application of collagen sponge (Parasorb Cone, Resorba, Germany) secured with a stitch, 3) Application of a tricalcium phosphate xenograft (Poresorb TCP, Lasak, Czech Republic) covered with a collagen sponge (Parasorb Cone) and secured with a stitch. 4) Application of autogenous dentin, covered with a collagen sponge (Parasorb Cone) and secured with a stitch. Alveolar ridge dimensions will be measured on CBCT before extraction and again after six months. Primary outcomes include the absolute and relative change in ridge width and height at 1 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm below the highest point of the alveolar bone as per Del Canto-Díaz, 2019. Patient factors (periodontal biotype, soft tissue phenotype, and vestibular thickness of the alveolar bone) will be recorded to allow subgroup analysis.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Spontaneous healing secured with a stitch (control group)
Wound after the tooth extraction will be secured with a stitch without addition of any augmentation material.
Procedure: Tooth extraction left to heal spontaneously
Wound after the tooth extraction will be secured with a stitch without addition of any augmentation material.

Wound after the tooth extraction will be filled with a collagen sponge (Parasorb Cone, Resorba, Germany) and secured with a stitch.
Procedure: Tooth extraction plus collagen sponge
Wound after the tooth extraction will be filled with a collagen sponge (Parasorb Cone, Resorba, Germany) and secured with a stitch.
Experimental: Tricalcium phosphate xenograft
Wound after the tooth extraction will be filled with tricalcium phosphate xenograft (Poresorb TCP, Lasak, Czech Republic), covered with a collagen sponge (Parasorb Cone, Resorba, Germany), and secured with a stitch.
Procedure: Tooth extraction plus tricalcium phosphate
