Bone Augmentation Techniques in Extraction Sockets

The amniotic allograft is a cryopreserved allograft tissue matrix derived from human
placental tissues recovered from live healthy donors. Amniotic tissue is an abundant source
of collagen which provides an extracellular matrix to act as a natural scaffold for cellular
attachment in the body; collagen provides a structural tissue matrix that facilitates
cellular migration and proliferation in-vivo. The product is developed using proprietory
techniques by BioDlogics, LLC. The amniotic allograft growth factors are thought to enhance
formation of a supportive scaffold for regeneration, to facilitate interactions between cell
types, and to influence anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and immuno-privilege activities.

Atraumatic extractions and socket grafts will be performed. Dental implants will be inserted
into the grafted areas 8 weeks post-graft. The implants will be restored and followed for 24
months post-insertion.
