Each tooth underwent hemisection, with the mesial root devitalized and filled with calcium hydroxide, while the distal roots were extracted. This resulted in six sockets per dog, which were randomly assigned to four injectable test materials (T1\u2013T4), one control (C), and one negative control group (N). Primary wound closure was achieved in all groups except for N. After 12\u00a0weeks, tissue blocks were analyzed using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT).
