The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a natural and synthetic bone substitute in preserving the alveolar ridge (bone) of a single- rooted tooth after an extraction. The main question it aims to answer: Is there a difference between natural (Bio-OssĀ®) and synthetic (BonaliveĀ®) bone substitutes in preserving the alveolar ridge dimensions based on changes in the width of the alveolar ridge (expressed in millimetres) from augmentation (baseline) to 24-week follow-up (post augmentation)? Participants will have a tooth extraction and a bone substitute will be inserted into their socket immediately after. Participants will be divided into two equal groups and those in group A will receive Bio-OssĀ® while those in group B will receive BonaliveĀ®. In both groups measurements of the alveolar bone will be taken when the bone substitute is inserted and 24 weeks after the insertion of the bone substitute. These measurements will be used to compare the effectiveness of Bio-OssĀ® and Bonalive in preserving the alveolar bone of a tooth after an extraction.
