Ridge Preservation and Soft Tissue Management around Implants | Dr. Daniele Cardaropoli, DDS

Athens, Greece – 2014, 30th – 31st May

After tooth extraction, bone resorption of varying amounts always occurs since the edentulous site of the alveolar process undergoes both qualitative and quantitative changes.

Scientific evidence exists about the dynamics of tissue alteration following tooth extraction. Hystologically and anatomically, the alveolar bone is a tooth dependent structure that develops in conjunction with his eruption, and the topography is determined by the form of the teeth and their axis of eruption. In the first phase of remodelling of the buccal/lingual walls of the extraction site, the bundle bone is resorbed since the lack of nutritive support from the periodontal ligament, and replaced with woven bone.

Consequently, the socket’s walls will be reduced in both vertical and horizontal dimensions. This resorption may lead to esthetic and functional disadvantages that can compromise future implant placement since, in order to have a correct endosseous implant positioning, an adequate width of the bone ridge is essential.

Based on this report, it becomes mandatory to preserve in someway the dimension of the postextraction socket, specially if an osseointegrated implant should be inserted in.

Different approaches have been presented in literature in order to preserve the post-extraction site, including the use of barrier membranes and bone fillers.

The results of these researches confirmed that the filling and covering of the post-extractive alveolus preserves the bone volume with more predictability than the spontaneous healing. Socket preservation is a bone regeneration technique used to minimize dimensional changes of soft and hard tissue after tooth extraction.

Similar to the dynamic of spontaneous healing of a postextractive site, ridge preservation enhances the stabilization of the blood clot, that will reorganize and be replaced by provisional connective tissue matrix, woven and lamellar bone and by bone marrow.

Barrier membranes are used to make space for the blood clot and to exclude soft tissue ingrowth.
