[Application of osteoconductive substitute materials in pre-implantation alveolar site preservation]

In order to reduce bone resorption after tooth extraction and achieve the necessary soft and hard tissue augmentation, it is very important to adequately manage the tooth extraction site. Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) before implantation helps to obtain predictable and satisfactory bone augmentation results. In this paper, the characteristics, histological studies, clinical applications and therapeutic effects of osteoconductive alternative materials in ARP are introduced, and related references are provided for their application in ARP.
