Alveolar Ridge Preservation at different anatomical locations – Clinical and Histological evaluation of treatment outcome
Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: Background: Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is a surgical technique designed to prevent naturally occurring post-extraction bone resorption.It is well documented that alveolar bone height and width are reduced following tooth extraction as a result of physiologic bone remodeling.Depending on the type of post-extraction intrabony defect, an immediate or early implant placement itself may preserve the bone height and width.However, if the defect is generally too wide for immediate and/or early implant placement, it is recommended to perform ARP surgery to preserve the bone volume for future implant placement.The purpose of this study was to investigate clinical and histological healing outcomes following ARP performed on molar and premolar sites by using freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) together with a collagen membrane.Maxillary and mandibular sextants were compared for clinical and histological parameters.Methods: Patients who were scheduled to have tooth extraction and implant placement for a molar or premolar tooth were included into this study.Inclusion criteria were single tooth extraction with intact mesial and distal adjacent teeth.Exclusion criteria were smokers, systemic health problems that may affect wound healing and acute infection CHAPTER I
