Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Alveolar ridge bone resorption is a natural consequence of tooth extraction.
  • Significant vertical and horizontal dimensional changes occur in the alveolar ridge post-extraction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review dimensional changes in the alveolar ridge following tooth extraction.
  • To provide an overview of the benefits of ridge preservation and available grafting materials.

Main Methods:

  • A Medline search was conducted in March 2015 for English-language papers.
  • Keywords included "alveolar ridge preservation," "ridge augmentation," and "graft types."
  • Relevant additional literature was reviewed.

Main Results:

  • The literature indicates that methods for ridge preservation and augmentation exist.
  • These techniques can minimize bone loss and restore bone volume.
  • Various grafting materials are available, including autografts, allografts, xenografts, and alloplasts.

Conclusions:

  • Alveolar ridge bone resorption is an inevitable biologic process after tooth extraction.
  • Ridge preservation and augmentation techniques are crucial for managing post-extraction bone changes.
  • A range of grafting materials and growth factors can be utilized to enhance outcomes.
