Abstract
Tooth extraction is usually followed by partial resorption of the residual alveolar ridge. Different techniques such as ridge preservation procedure have been proposed to maintain the ridge dimension. However, applying these methods to extraction sockets could not completely preserve the coronal part of facial bone walls, which were comprised almost entirely of bundle bone.
Highlights
Conclusion: within limitation of this study we can conclude, after one year follow up, Socket Shield Technique (SST) can prevent soft and hard tissue changes can be happens during healing of alveolar socket after tooth extraction
The using SST as routine clinical practice stile need to higher level of evidence
Literature has reported after tooth extraction, the alveolar bone undergoes a remodeling process, which leads to approximately 3.87 mm of horizontal ridge reduction and 1.67mm of vertical ridge reduction in the 6-12 months following extraction, primarily in the initial 3 months [1]
Summary
Literature has reported after tooth extraction, the alveolar bone undergoes a remodeling process, which leads to approximately 3.87 mm of horizontal ridge reduction and 1.67mm of vertical ridge reduction in the 6-12 months following extraction, primarily in the initial 3 months [1]. The loss of a tooth triggers a remodeling reaction as part of the healing process, involving various degrees of alveolar bone resorption, especially affecting the buccal lamella: The bundle bone is primarily vascularized by the periodontal membrane of the tooth. This part of the alveolar bone is compromised by the extraction, to such an extent that the buccal lamella is insufficiently nourished, leading to its total or partial resorption [2]. Tooth extraction is usually followed by partial resorption of the residual alveolar ridge Different techniques such as ridge preservation procedure have been proposed to maintain the ridge dimension. Applying these methods to extraction sockets could not completely preserve the coronal part of facial bone walls, which were comprised almost entirely of bundle bone
