After the extraction, enzymatically-deantigenated horse bone granules and an equine pericardium membrane were used to preserve the tooth socket. The patient was placed on a monthly follow-up in order to monitor the healing process. A 3 mm trephine bur was used to drill the bone for implant site preparation and to collect the bone sample. No signs and symptoms related to osteonecrosis of the jaws were reported. Histological data showed that, after 5 months, the mean percentages of trabecular bone, bone marrow and residual bone graft were respectively 45.74 \u00b1 0.09%, 48.09 \u00b1 0.08%, and 6.16 \u00b1 0.01%. The residual graft material appeared to be osteointegrated and none of the particles appeared to be encapsulated. The present case report supports the guidelines that assume that patients undergoing oral bisphosphonate therapy can be eligible for surgical therapy. More clinical studies with larger sample sizes are needed to support this clinical evidence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biology10040262","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,25]],"date-time":"2021-03-25T14:51:12Z","timestamp":1616683872000},"page":"262","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Clinical and Histological Study about the Socket Preservation in a Patient under Oral Bisphosphonates Treatment: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Antonello","family":"Falco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Falmed Medical Care, Viale G. d\u2019Annunzio, 73, 65127 Pescara, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Bataccia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical, Oral and Biotechnological Sciences, G. d\u2019Annunzio University of Chieti-Pescara, Via dei Vestini 31, 66100 Chieti, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Vittorini Orgeas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Falmed Medical Care, Viale G. d\u2019Annunzio, 73, 65127 Pescara, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Federico","family":"Perfetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical, Oral and Biotechnological Sciences, G. d\u2019Annunzio University of Chieti-Pescara, Via dei Vestini 31, 66100 Chieti, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1696-1490","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariangela","family":"Basile","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Ageing Sciences, G. d\u2019Annunzio University of Chieti-Pescara, Via dei Vestini 31, 66100 Chieti, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberta","family":"Di Pietro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Ageing Sciences, G. d\u2019Annunzio University of Chieti-Pescara, Via dei Vestini 31, 66100 Chieti, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1875-595X.1997.tb00670.x","article-title":"Reasons for tooth extractions in dental practices in Ontario, Canada according to tooth type","volume":"47","author":"Murray","year":"1997","journal-title":"Int.
