It is confirmed that tooth extraction with spontaneous healing may lead to degrees of alveolar bone resorption due to the bone remodelling phase. Reconstructive materials are proposed to insert into the socket during the extraction procedure preventing the loss of alveolar bone dimension. The “Socket Plug” technique is an alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) method saving both operational time and is easy to apply in clinical routines. The technique includes steps of atraumatic extraction, flapless design, biomaterial placement, and suturing. Four clinical cases are reported using the socket-plug technique placing hemostatic gelatin sponges as spontaneous healing and collagen plug in sockets as ARP with or without interradicular septum.

Maxillary sinus floor elevation is a reliable surgical procedure to establish oral rehabilitation using implant prostheses in the atrophic maxilla. Both lateral sinus floor elevation (LSFE) and crestal sinus floor elevation (CSFE) are viable to augment inadequate alveolar bone height. Still, the results of post-surgical trauma, complications, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) vary. Furthermore, combining bone grafting for maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA) is suggested to increase the volume of the alveolar ridge, yet more researches have demonstrated outcomes of the graftless method. This clinical report describes a graftless sinus augmentation with simultaneous implant placement utilizing Densah burs implementing CSFE through the osseodensification method.
