Abstract:
Implant site preservation has become standard treatment for the management of extraction sites to avoid or limit alveolar ridge atrophy following tooth extraction. Multiple techniques and materials have been utilized because of their ability to enhance bone healing and bone-forming capacity in extraction sockets and maintain alveolar ridge dimension for optimal implant placement. This article describes a novel method of contour ridge augmentation using a ribose-based cross-linked multilayered dual soft- and hard-tissue absorbable scaffold that also yields exceptional dental implant esthetics.
