Dental Extractions and Preservation of Space for Implant Placement in Molar Sites

Biological effects of compressive forces exerted on particulate bone grafts during socket preservation: animal study

“…To overcome the effects of tooth extraction, the socket/ridge preservation techniques were developed (H€ ammerle et al 2012). The goals of the socket/ridge preservation techniques are to reduce soft and hard tissues trauma, to minimize the percentage of bone resorption, to preserve the alveolar dimensions after tooth extraction to allow the future placement of dental implants, and to maximize the dimensions of the residual ridge for prosthodontic rehabilitation (Paolantonio et al 2001;Fickl et al 2008; Wang & Lang 2012;Block 2015).…”
