Abstract
An investigation was developed to test the clinical possibilities of a method to preserve the residual alveolar bone immediately following tooth extractions. Clinical observations of bone stability over retained roots or teeth led to this study. Observations showed that resorption proceeds at a slower rate over the implant area and that the presence of the implant did minimize the amount of bone loss over the period observed. The nagging fear of the development of malignancy through the use of acrylic resins has caused the temporary withdrawal of an otherwise handy and practical material from future phases of this investigation. It is hoped similarly based investigations using roots of the extracted teeth themselves as implants will be continued. Primary union of the oral tissue over the open socket is an important factor for success. The positioning of the implants (3 mm. or more below the infraalveolar bone crest) appears as a factor in the success of the implant and the organization of the blood clot. Future investigations must bear these important features in mind.
