CONSERVATION OF ACTIVE ALVEOLAR PREIMPLANTAR SITE AFTER EXTRACTION
Abstract:
Objectives: After the extraction, the most important thing is the guided bone resorbtion
process, so it is recommended to fill up the socket for the consolidation of the walls. This technique is
called “Socket Preservation” and plays an important part in the process of socket transformation after
extraction. If the natural teeth do not correspond to the aesthetic and functional exigency or they do not
worth being kept, it is recommended to extract them and immediately or in a future stage be replaced by
a fixed overdenture. In these cases, the edentulous space is filled with an implant or a bridge fixed on the
adjacent teeth. Material and Methods: In the study, two groups of patients were included: group A for
which the preservation techniques have not been applied after tooth extraction, and a second group B of
patients who received one of the techniques practiced by preservation and maintenance alveolar bone
volume after extraction. Results and discussion: Irrespective of the technique of alveolar preservation or
augmentation materials (bone graft + membrane), there was a significant maintenance bone wildness
and height compared to conventional postextractional sites in all cases in the study. Also, a significant
recession’s stop of the soft tissue was noticed while maintaining the gingival papilla morphology.
Conclusion: The variety of techniques of “Socket Preservation” ensures aesthetic and functional
insertion of the implants and maintains the hard and soft tissues around the overdenture.
