Abstract

Dimensional changes to the alveolar ridge are inexorable following tooth extraction. To avoid this hard-tissue loss, alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) soon after extraction needs to be done. However, despite taking precautions to prevent the ridge loss, some cases might require ridge and sinus augmentation procedures for dental implant placement subsequent to tooth extraction. The present case report briefs on management of extraction site by ARP and indirect sinus lifting by osteotome sinus floor elevation approach, for dental implant placement.
