2.3. Primary and Secondary Outcomes
SECONDARY
The study assesses the clinical and tomographic results of alveolar ridge preservation after four months of surgery. The primary outcomes are linear phenotypic dimensional changes, which were assessed by measuring the midfacial and midpalatal bone and soft tissue thickness at baselines and after four months of healing at two points in millimeters (mm). The secondary outcomes include changes in the vertical alveolar bone of the socket buccal wall in (mm). Furthermore, histomorphometry will be conducted to evaluate new bone formation in both groups four months after the initial surgery.
