Background

Extraction is indicated when a tooth cannot be restored or maintained in acceptable conditions for function and/or esthetics. Following tooth extraction, alveolar bone loss and structural and compositional changes of the covering soft tissues, as well as morphological alterations takes place.

Aim

To present an overview of socket preservation techniques and materials used for preserving the alveolar socket after tooth extraction.

Materials & Methods

Various materials and procedures are used for socket preservation including connective tissue grafts, free gingival graft, biocol, alloderm, prosthetic 'pontic' socket plug, autologous fibrin concentrates, GTR membranes and bone graft materials like autografts, allografts, xenografts and alloplast.

Results

The repair process results in marked changes in the height and width of the alveolar ridge with an average of 0.7-1.5mm of vertical and 4.0-4.5mm of horizontal bone resorption which may lead to difficulties at the time of implant placement.

Conclusion

Socket preservation at the time of extraction is one of the most significant procedures in the periodontal paradigm for maintenance of health, youth and beauty.
