Alveolar Ridge Preservation: Biologically-oriented Alveolar Ridge Preservation Vs Modified Periosteal Inhibition

The modified periosteal inhibition technique has been proposed as an alternative to limit crestal resorption following tooth extraction in sockets with a residual vestibular thickness of \<1 mm. This technique aims to prevent osteolytic activity on the external surface of a post-extraction socket by applying a 0.5 mm-thick soft cortical plate of porcine origin, secured with fibrin glue. By avoiding the placement of bone graft material inside the socket, the technique seeks to effectively counteract bone remodeling, achieving minimal reduction in the size of the alveolar crest. The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the modified periosteal inhibition technique in preserving the dimensions of the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction, by comparing it with the Biologically-oriented Alveolar Ridge Preservation technique.
