Course Description:
Management of tissue changes following tooth extraction for successful immediate and late implant placement The management of the ridge alterations that take place following tooth extraction is of great interest for Implant Dentistry. The current presentation will describe a series of studies regarding the various ways to approach the post-extraction bone diminution. It will be demonstrated that several anatomic features of the alveolar process influence the amount of post-extraction bone loss. The use of ridge preservation, a clinical procedure that aims at preserving the ridge volume within the envelope existing at the time of extraction for immediate or late implant placement will be described. Clinical cases that illustrate the surgical technique and outcome of ridge preservation and implant placement will be discussed.
