In order to preserve ridge volumetry after extraction, many clinical techniques and various biomaterials have been suggested for grafting of post-extraction wounds7-12. Grafting of sockets provides stable clinical results but some studies demonstrate that, unless using a membrane, at histological examination most of the graft particles are encapsulated by fibrous tissue, especially in the coronal area 9,11. Recently, a study on an animal model (Araújo et al. 2009) reported that the presence of bone graft material in fresh extraction socket leads to a delayed healing response13.
