After the extraction of teeth due to cavities, trauma or periodontal disease, the subsequent healing of postexstraction alveolar socket results in bone irregularities of the residual alveolar ridge (reduction of height and width). The factors of bone resorption can be divided into: anatomical, metabolic, functional and prosthetic factors. Postextraction alveolar resorption is significantly higher in the buccal aspects of both jaws. The process of bone remodeling will be more pronounced in clinical cases with present dehiscence and fenestration of the buccal lamina. The extent of bone resorption of the residual ridge is proportional to the time elapsed after the dental extraction. Deformities of the residual alveolar ridge are classified according to morphology in three consecutive classes. A case of 50-year-old male patient is presented with new regenerative protocols with PRF and a sticky bone for socket preservation. Using a combination of a sticky bone and PRF membranes for socket preservation is a simple and cost-effective source of growth factors that increase the predictability and success outcome of implant supported prosthodontics solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
