Ridge preservation techniques using DBBM and CM reduce the horizontal bone morphological changes that occur, mostly in the coronal portion of the buccal bone plate following tooth extraction, when compared to spontaneous healing. This is true regardless of whether immediate implant placement is performed or not.
