Abstract

The aim of this article is to assess the formation of new vital bone (VB) using histomorphometric analysis in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP), with and without primary closure. Eight patients needed bilateral tooth extraction and planned for ARP. All patients had a nonresorbable membrane with freeze-dried bone allograft after the extractions. Biopsies were obtained 6 months after ARP and were evaluated using histomorphometric analysis. The study included 6 males and 2 females, with an average age of 54.2 years (standard deviation, 9.7). The teeth requiring extraction included a bilateral canine (1 case), premolars (5 cases), and molars (2 cases). Histomorphometric values of new VB, residual bone (RB) substitute particles, and marrow tissue formation were 71.1 %, 16.2%, and 9.69% for closed flap and 50.9%, 15.3%, and 8.19 for open flap. P values were 0.066, 0.878, and 0.326, respectively. The present findings indicate that leaving the flap without primary closure did not have any effect on new VB, RB particles, and immature bone marrow compared with closed flap. However, the results favored the closed-flap technique.
