Socket seal
After tooth extraction, a ridge preservation procedure can compensate for resorbed hard tissue1,2 and thereby reduce the number of secondary augmentation procedures at implant placement1.
Sealing an extraction socket with Geistlich Mucograft® Seal can further improve soft-tissue parameters in extraction sockets with preserved buccal walls3.
Clinical case: Early implant placement with socket sealing for improvement of
soft-tissue parameters.
Extraction socket with de-epithelialized wound margins.
Extraction socket filled with Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen®.
Extraction socket filled with Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® and Geistlich Mucograft® Seal and sutured with single-interrupted sutures.
3 days after extraction and treatment with Geistlich Mucograft® Seal.
Pre-operative clinical outcome 10 weeks after extraction, prior to implant placement.
Clinical outcome 10 weeks post implant placement.
