Application of Concentrated Growth Factors in Alveolar Ridge Preservation

A prospective, randomized controlled trial is designed to explore the role of CGF in the regeneration or preservation of soft and hard tissues in extraction site preservation. Using random number table, 20 patients were randomly divided into 4 groups using different filling materials in the extraction socket and materials for the wound sealing. Group A (5cases): bone powder + collagen membrane; Group B (5 cases): bone powder + collagen membrane + CGF membrane; Group C (5 cases): bone powder mixed CGF gel + collagen membrane + CGF membrane; Group D (5 cases): bone powder + CGF membrane. Extraction and site preservation surgery were performed by the same physician and clinical follow-up was more than 6 months after surgery. The four groups will be compared on several variables, including the changes in pain score, Landry wound healing index, membrane exposure area, keratinized gingival width, buccolingual gingival width, alveolar crest width and height.
