ABOUT THE PRESENTATION:
Several studies have concerned the morphological alterations occurred in alveolar process as a consequence of tooth extraction, both vertically and in the width of the residual bone. The resorption rate is a factor of the time since extraction. The contour loss occurs at a more significant rate during the early post-extraction period, especially within the first six months. Changes in the buccal alveolar bone plate result in a collapse of the alveolar process, especially in the maxillary bone. The subsequent ridge deformity poses a challenge to the rehabilitation process due to the significant functional and esthetic problems, especially in the anterior maxillary region.
Conservative atraumatic extraction and socket preservation techniques with different materials have been evolved and clinically implemented. Recent preservation approaches tend mostly towards the regenerated bone quality as a prerequisite for gaining a proper implant site and less towards the topographic status of the edentulous ridge. Socket preservation procedures used widely to manage the tissue dimensional alterations after tooth removal. These techniques considered as predictable procedures to reduce the need for extensive bone augmentation operations in implant dentistry. There are different socket/ridge preservation techniques with different outcomes. In this webinar there will be a discussion on various Socket Preservation techniques that helps to preserve alveolar ridge resorption.
