“…To counteract post-extraction bone resorption, alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) techniques can be used. As has been previously reported in both non-clinical and clinical studies, various types of augmentation (bone grafting) provide structural and dimensional stability (Al Qabbani et al, 2018;Klinge, Alberius, Isaksson, & Jonsson, 1992;Lee, Yi, Lee, & Kim, 2017;Richardson, Mellonig, Brunsvold, McDonnell, & Cochran, 1999). Compared with extraction alone, a reduction in loss of ridge height and width has been associated with ARP; however, no conclusive data are available to confirm esthetic and prosthodontic improvements secondary to ARP (Atieh et al, 2015;Avila-Ortiz, Chambrone, & Vignoletti, 2019;Iocca, Farcomeni, Pardinas Lopez, & Talib, 2017;MacBeth, Trullenque-Eriksson, Donos, & Mardas, 2017).…”
