| Abstract | ||||
| Aim of the study: The present study was performed to evaluate clinically and radiographically the effect of xenograft alone versus xenograft mixed with vitamin D3 in alveolar socket preservation after tooth extraction. Materials and method: Thirty patients with teeth indicated for extraction were assigned randomly in three groups: Group I: the patients received xenograft as a grafting material for the extraction socket. Group II: the patients received xenograft with vitamin D3 gel and in Group III: the socket left without any a grafting material. All patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically for dimensional changes of extraction sockets at; base line and after 6 months. Results of the present study were recorded, tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results: Group II showed least dimensional changes followed by Group I without statistical significance, while Group III exhibited significant reduction in sockets' dimensions. Conclusions: Vitamin D3 gel mixed with xenograft may have a positive effect, comparable clinically and radiographically to xenograft alone, in minimizing bone loss and socket preservation after tooth extraction. | ||||
