Prevention of Bone Resorption by HA/β-TCP + Collagen Composite after Tooth Extraction: A Case Series
After tooth extraction, alveolar ridge loss due to resorption is almost inevitable. Most of this bone loss occurs during the first six months after the extraction procedure. Many studies have indicated that applying socket-filling biomaterials after extraction can effectively reduce the resorption r...
