Combination of Bone Graft and Resorbable Membrane for Alveolar Ridge Preservation: a Systematic Review, Meta-analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis

Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) techniques are aimed to reduce the resorption after tooth extraction. The combination of a graft material covered with a resorbable membrane represent one of the most common strategies performed in the clinical practice. The aim of this systematic review was to analyse evidence regarding potential benefits of ARP procedures performed with allogenic/xenogenic grafts in combination with a resorbable membrane coverage in comparison to a spontaneous healing
