Three-Dimensional Volumetric Changes After Socket Augmentation with Deproteinized Bovine Bone and Collagen Matrix.

CONCLUSION: This clinical investigation provides early evidence of using the total tissue volume to compare soft and hard tissue remodeling after socket augmentation. The results of this study demonstrated that the use of a xenogeneic collagen matrix reduced the buccal soft tissue loss after tooth extraction, but additional studies are necessary to evaluate the clinical significance of soft tissue augmentation after tooth extraction.
