title: Histologic evaluation of purified bovine tendon collagen sponge in tooth extraction sites in dogs.
abstract: This study presents a histologic evaluation of the healing process of dental extraction sites in dogs with and without the use of collagen sponge as an extraction site dressing. The healing process was evaluated at 3 days, 1 week, and 6 months after tooth extraction and appears comparable in both collagen-filled and nonfilled extraction sites.
