The potential benefit of socket preservation therapies was demonstrated result ing in significantly less vertical and horizontal contraction of the alveolar bone crest .
The scientific evidence does not provide clear guidelines in regards to the type of bio material , or surgical procedure , although a significant positive effect of the flapped surgery was observed .
There are no data available to draw conclusions on the consequences of such benefits on the long-term outcomes of implant therapy
OBJECTIVE This systematic review aims to evaluate the scientific evidence on the efficacy in the surgical protocol s design ed for preserving the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction and to evaluate how these techniques affect the placement of dental implants and the final implant supported restoration .
Osseoretention? Comparative assessment of particulate hydroxyapatite inserted beneath immediate dentures.
This paper presents the results of a study to observe the effect on bone resorption and residual alveolar ridge form , of placement of dense non-resorbable hydroxyapatite granules into fresh canine sockets , at the time of immediate denture provision . Thirty five subjects were r and omly divided into two groups cross matched for age and sex . All subjects required bilateral extraction of at least a lower canine and an adjacent tooth . Results demonstrate that six months post- extraction the control group had lost four times more bone than the implant group . These results were highly significant ( P=0.000 , LHS and P=0.001 , RHS )
