The importance of preserving the horizontal and vertical ridge dimensions following tooth extraction have become critical factors for the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of the implant patient. Ridge and socket preservation are well-documented procedures but mainly relate to fully intact sockets.

This presentation will provide an overview of the procedure, the biomaterials that are used, and the clinical outcomes expected according to the literature. Additionally, the management of the partially and severely damaged socket with ridge preservation techniques will be discussed.

Aims & Objectives

Aims and Objectives:
· To discuss the biologic events following tooth extraction
· To review the current evidence on alveolar ridge preservation through systematic reviews
· To review/compare the available treatment modalities
· To discuss variations of the technique and evaluate treatment possibilities.
