The aims of this study were (i) to evaluate the efficacy of ridge preservation and repair procedures involving the application of SocketKAP^™ and SocketKAGE^™ devices following tooth removal and (ii) to evaluate alveolar bone volumetric changes at 6 months post‐extraction in intact sockets or those with facial wall dehiscence defects using 3‐dimensional pre‐ and postoperative CBCT data.

Thirty‐six patients required 61 teeth extracted. Five cohorts were established: Group A: Intact Socket Negative Control Group B: Intact Socket + SocketKAP^™ Group C: Intact Socket Filled with Anorganic Bovine Bone Mineral (ABBM) + SocketKAP^™ Group D: Facial Dehiscence Socket Negative Control Group E: Facial Dehiscence Socket Filled with ABBM + SocketKAP^™ + SocketKAGE^™. Preoperative CBCT scans were obtained followed by digital subtraction of the test teeth. At 6 months post …
