%X The purpose of this study was to compare the bone healing potential of 1-, 2-, and 3-wall defects following alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) treatment, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of ARP as a treatment option for destructive sites. Three groups, characterized by 1-, 2-, and 3-wall defects, were randomly assigned to the maxillary second, third, and fourth premolars in each of 8 beagle dogs. Each defect was created at either the mesial or distal root site of the tooth, which was hemi-sectioned and extracted. The contralateral root was preserved to superimpose with the experimental site for histomorphometric analysis. For each site, either spontaneous healing (SH; control) or ARP (test intervention) was randomly applied. Each group was divided in half and underwent a healing period of either 4 or 12 weeks. The Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used for histomorphometric analyses. Statistical significance was set at P
