ABSTRACT:
Background and Aim: Tooth extraction affects causes homeostatic and structural changes in periodontal tissues, leading to alveolar ridge atrophy. Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is carried out to avoid ridge resorption after a extraction. There is a general agreement that implants can be placed six months after ARP, following a delayed placement procedure. However, there was no convincing evidence that ARP would improve implant or prosthodontic success. It is still not clear which ARP technique provides more predictable results and it is still premature to draw any conclusions with regard to the surgical technique, namely the need for primary closure. The aim of this presentation is to present clinical cases illustrating socket preservation using a novel synthetic bone graft, and techniques for the reconstruction of the peri-implant soft tissue.
