The efficacy of the socket preservation procedure using deproteinized bovine bone mineral, bioabsorbable collagen membrane, and collagen sponge on molar extraction sites with severe periodontitis was assessed at 6 postoperative months, before implant placement. Results revealed excellent soft tissue healing without loss of keratinized tissue and no statistically significant differences in socket marginal bone changes in 20 molar extraction sockets. High levels of primary implant stability were recorded. Socket preservation using a minimally invasive surgical technique provides good soft and hard tissue healing as well as anticipated stability of implant placement at sites of extracted molars with severe periodontitis.
