This is a controlled, randomized, blinded, clinical study, in which 18 extractions were performed, and the treated dental alveolo were randomly select and devided into two groups. Group 1 test group (G1) a xenogen collagen sponge (pig) was inserted and the control grouop (G2), only the local blood clot was maintained. The alveoli were analyzed in the horizontal and vertical directions and the results were evaluated using the Wilcoxon and Mann – Whitney tests assumig a statistical significance of p<0,05. In addition to tomographic analyzes, patients were followed up daily in the first week to check whether local tissues had possible complications such as the presence of infection fistulas and persistent pain. The initial results (1 month) found that in a joint analysis evaluanting height (p<0,863) total length (p<1,00) and total thickness of the socket (p<0,222), no significant differences were observed between the test groups and control respectively. When G1 is compared at different times 1 month and 18 months in relation to the variables there are statistically significant differences in the total length of the alveolus and in the thickness (p<0,05) but there was no significance in relation to the height of the alveolus (p = 0,575). Analyzing each variable separately in relation to groups G1 and G2 there was no statistical difference in an analysis after 18 months (p=0,773 – alveolar height and alveolar thickness; p = 1 – total alveolar length). During clinical follow-up in both groups there was no difference in the pattern of the tissue repair process with patients oral rehabilitation being possible. Through the preliminary data presented the research demonstrated that the alveoli treated with porcine collagen sponge (Hemospon®) had smaller bone losses mainly in relation to thickness and it can be inferred that there are signs of alveolar maintenance with the use of biomaterial it can be a potential and low-cost biomaterial for alveolar preservation without increasing the complication rates however an analysis of a larger sample is suggested for a better statistical analysis.Acesso AbertoAlveolo dentalRemodelação ósseaReabsorção ósseadoctoralThesis
