Abstract
Abstract: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of EPO onridge resorption. The patients were divided into 3 groups: studygroup having sockets filled with chitosan (CS)/carbon methylcellulose (CMC)/gelatin hydrogels loaded with EPO, positivecontrol group having sockets filled with CS/CMC/gelatin hy-drogels alone, and control group with natural healing sockets.The average buccal bone height at follow-up was 7.4 ± 1.9 mmcompared with 8.4 ± 2.3 mm at baseline with nonsignificantbone loss (P = 0.25). Regarding the positive control group,buccal bone height was 7.5 ± 3.3 mm at follow-up comparedwith 9.4 ± 3.8 mm at baseline, with significant bone loss(P = 0.04). Regarding the control group, the average of buccalbone height was 7.7 ± 3 mm at follow-up compared with9.5 ± 2.8 mm at baseline with significant bone loss (P = 0.04). CSloaded-EPO hydrogel reduced ridge resorption compared withspontaneous healing and CS alone.
