BONE LOSS
Descriptive statistics for data analysis were expressed using a statistical tool package (IBM SPSS software version 23, Chicago, USA). Mean with standard deviations (Mean ± SD) were addressed to exhibit average bone loss. Paired t-tests for matched samples were employed to calculate the vertical and horizontal bone changes identified within each group (intragroup) from baseline to 3 months. The difference between groups was determined using an independent samples t-test. Non-parametric tests were applied to assess Soft tissue dimensional alterations, due to unmet criteria of normal distribution. The P values were calculated using median values with an interquartile range. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the median values of clinical parameters at baseline and 3 months post-extraction within each group (intragroup). For intergroup changes from baseline and 3 months post-extraction, the Mann-Whitney U test was used. All statistical tests were carried out at a significant level of 5%.
