Abstract

Purpose of the Review

Socket preservation post-tooth extraction is crucial for optimal conditions for subsequent dental implant placement. This review explores the efficacy, impact on tissue volumes, and economic considerations of socket preservation techniques.

Recent Findings

Socket preservation involves grafting the alveolar cavity with a bone substitute and sealing it with a membrane. Various graft and membrane types offer different outcomes. Xenograft materials are favored for optimal clinical outcomes. Membranes range from autogenous grafts to synthetic options like collagen matrixes, with resorption time being a key differentiator. Recent systematic reviews highlight the effectiveness of socket preservation in maintaining alveolar ridge dimensions and soft tissue integrity, with favorable outcomes across various studies.

Summary

This review examines the efficacy, impact on tissue volumes, and economic considerations of socket preservation techniques. Favorable outcomes in maintaining alveolar ridge dimensions and preserving soft tissue integrity are highlighted. However, further research is needed to assess long-term stability and efficacy.
