Quintessence Int. 2012 Nov-Dec;43(10):887-9.

Abstract

This study assessed the viability of bone and soft tissue healing at the wound extraction site, when the wound was both covered and not covered with a mucoperiosteal flap. In total, 40 patients were enrolled in the clinical study and were randomly allocated to each treatment cohort group.
