Ridge Preservation With Collagenated Biomaterials.
Abstract Body:
Alveolar bone crest undergoes dimensional ridge changes after tooth extraction, these changes cannot be completely counteracted, even though a proper management could allow the achievement of the best possible outcome for the patient. The ridge preservation technique is known to be effective on the reduction of alveolar bone resorption after a tooth extraction. The objective of this lecture is to illustrate the surgical techniques and the biological principles that should be followed to obtain the better clinical outcomes. The fresh extraction socket classification will be discussed. The advantage and downsides with immediate implants and ridge preservation procedures will be discussed and analysed. The flapless and flapped techniques to perform socket preservation is still considered a matter of discussion in the scientific community. The flapless ridge preservation technique showed to be as effective as the flapped technique, since the bone healing was similar within the two groups; on the other hand, the flapless procedure seems to offer a less postoperative discomfort, better preservation of keratinized gingiva and stability of muco-gingival junction. The immediate implants showed several advantages, even though in the esthetic area the use of a connective tissue graft seems to offer a good solution in term of mid-facial mucosa recession.
