Collagen Versus Xenograft Bovine Bone Inserted Into Extraction Sockets: Healing and Pain Management.

Background: Different materials can be used in filling the extraction socket to achieve an alveolar ridge preservation. The present study compared the wound healing potential and pain management efficacy of the collagen and the xenograft bovine bone, covered by a cellulose mesh, inserted into the socket of extracted teeth.

Materials And Methods: Thirteen patients were willingly chosen to enter our split-mouth study.
