The mechanisms and rates of reparative osteogenesis were equivalent between fresh extraction sockets and osteotomies. The volume of new bone required to fill a socket, however, was significantly greater than the volume required to fill an osteotomy. These data provide a framework for estimating the rate of reparative osteogenesis and the time to loading of implants placed in healed sites versus fresh extraction sockets.
