Brief Summary
The aim of the current study is to compare the effect socket sealing with flowable resin composite compared to dense polytetrafluoroethylene membrane after filling the extraction site with xenograft particles in terms of soft and hard tissue changes, procedural time, post operative pain, patients' satisfaction, and cost effectiveness.

Study Arms (2)
Composite plug
EXPERIMENTALTooth extraction will be done a-traumatically followed by socket curettage and cleaning followed by xenograft filling for the socket and coverage with injected flowable composite plug which will then be stabilized using 5.0 polypropylene suture material with a figure of eight suture.
Exposed d-PTFE
ACTIVE COMPARATORTooth extraction will be done a-traumatically followed by socket curettage and cleaning followed by xenograft filling for the socket and coverage with d-PTFE membrane which will be left exposed intentionally and secured using 5.0 polypropylene suture material with a figure of eight suture.
Interventions
Extraction of hopeless teeth will be followed by grafting the socket with xenograft and coverage with injected flowable composite plug which will then be stabilized using 5.0 polypropylene suture material with a figure of eight suture.
Extraction of hopeless teeth will be followed by grafting the socket with xenograft and coverage with d-PTFE membrane which will the be left exposed intentionally. This will be followed by securing the membrane using 5.0 polypropylene suture material with a figure of eight suture.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients having single non-adjacent hopeless maxillary tooth in the esthetic zone that are indicated for extraction.
- Patients with healthy systemic condition.
- Patients aged from 20 to 70 years old.
- Good oral hygiene.
- Accepts 4 months follow-up period (cooperative patients).
You may not qualify if:
- Systemic diseases or medications that might affect bone metabolism, increase surgical risk or complicate post-operative healing.
- Previous bone augmentation to implant site.
- Untreated periodontal diseases.
- Para-functional habits such as bruxism and clenching.
- History of radiation therapy to the head and neck.
- Heavy smokers (≥ 10 cigarettes per day).
- Pregnant or lactating females.
- Alcoholism or drug abuse.
