The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ridge preservation involving novel devices used for obturation of socket orifice (Socket cap; SocketKAP^™) and resorbable cage used for space maintenance in sites with facial wall dehiscence (Socket cage; SocketKAGE^™).

Eight teeth were extracted in each of six Macaca fascicularis non‐human primates. Six intervention groups consisted of the following: Group A: intact socket negative control. Group B: intact socket: socket cap. Group C: intact socket filled with anorganic bovine bone mineral (ABBM) + socket cap. Group D: dehiscence: negative control. Group E: dehiscence: socket cap + socket cage. Group F: dehiscence: filled with ABBM + socket cap + socket cage. CBCT scans were obtained preoperatively and at 6 and 12 weeks following intervention. The pre‐ and postoperative scans were superimposed, to quantify 3D volumetric …
