Socket Preservation: Review
Abstract: The removal of a tooth results in remodeling and absorption not only within the socket but also in the surrounding alveolar bone. Alterations in the bone ridge following extraction are unavoidable, influenced by the initial size of the socket, with wider sockets requiring more time to heal completely. Both the height and width of the bone undergo dimensional changes subsequent to tooth extraction.The volumetric bone reduction changes occur after tooth …
