The healing of a post-extraction socket and the final remodeling of the residual ridge represent a moment of fundamental importance in the study of bone regeneration and in the assessment all the methods to be implemented in order to guide this process in a profitable way. The purpose of this clinical evaluation is therefore to assess the effectiveness of a granular bovine bone (RE-BONE bone substitute, Ubgen System, Vigonza-PD, Italy) in promoting the formation of new bone and preserving the volume of the pre-existing one at the extraction site. 30 patients were involved in this study, involving a total of 30 alveolar sockets treated with new medical devices. Each patient was treated 4g of bovine bone in granular form. Our pilot study, carried out on the samples considered suitable by the operator, identified the presence or absence of mineralized bone, soft tissue and graft material, through a qualitative and quantitative percentage assessment. The results showed an optimal percentage of new bone formation, with a prevalence of hard tissue. The presence of grafting material constituted only a small percentage in most of the analyzed samples, demonstrating that the substituted material was optimally resorbed and replaced with new mature bone tissue.

Abstract
The healing of a post-extraction socket and the final remodeling of the residual ridge represent a moment of fundamental importance in the study of bone regeneration and in the assessment all the methods to be implemented in order to guide this process in a profitable way. The purpose of this clinical evaluation is therefore to assess the effectiveness of a granular bovine bone (RE-BONE bone substitute, Ubgen System, Vigonza-PD, Italy) in promoting the formation of new bone and preserving the volume of the pre-existing one at the extraction site. 30 patients were involved in this study, involving a total of 30 alveolar sockets treated with new medical devices. Each patient was treated 4g of bovine bone in granular form. Our pilot study, carried out on the samples considered suitable by the operator, identified the presence or absence of mineralized bone, soft tissue and graft material, through a qualitative and quantitative percentage assessment. The results showed an optimal percentage of new bone formation, with a prevalence of hard tissue. The presence of grafting material constituted only a small percentage in most of the analyzed samples, demonstrating that the substituted material was optimally resorbed and replaced with new mature bone tissue.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
