Relationship Between the Buccal Bone Plate Thickness and the Healing of Postextraction Sockets With/Without Ridge Preservation

Histologic Evaluation of Wound Healing After Ridge Preservation With Cortical, Cancellous, and Combined Cortico‐Cancellous Freeze‐Dried Bone Allograft: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

“…The ridge preservation procedure has proven to have a high degree of success in preserving ridge dimensions compared with non‐ridge preserved controls 9 , 10 , 26 . Ridge preservation may reduce the need for additional bone augmentation during implant placement 27 . There is an abundance of evidence available comparing various materials for ridge preservation, including allografts, xenografts, and alloplasts 9 , 10 .…”

“…The secondary objective of this study was to evaluate dimensional changes that occur after the ridge preservation procedure. Maintenance of alveolar bone volume through ridge preservation can permit placement of more appropriately sized implant diameters, with a reduced need for additional bone augmentation 26 , 27 . Use of custom plastic stents permitted standardized measurements to be recorded at each time point.…”

Effect of Healing Time on New Bone Formation After Tooth Extraction and Ridge Preservation With Demineralized Freeze‐Dried Bone Allograft: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

“…For many years, implant therapy has been used to replace extracted and missing teeth with great predictability 1 . After tooth extraction, significant changes in ridge dimension, both horizontal and vertical, can take place in a short period of time, 2–6 posing a potential challenge for clinicians to surgically place dental implants properly in a restoratively driven position. Additional treatment is often then needed, resulting in increased significant cost to patients, patient morbidity, and technicalities in procedure 6 …”

Taller 1 - Momento idóneo para la inserción del implante, inmediato, temprano o diferido

“…Studies have shown that the loss occurs mainly in the vestibular cortical bone (3) . The effect of bone loss is greater and varies if there have been multiple extractions, absence of adjacent teeth, poor bone quality and infection (3,4) . The highest percentage of dimensional changes occurs in the first month and continues in a lower percentage in the following months (2) , resulting in the loss of contour in soft and hard tissues.…”

“…Los estudios han demostrado que la pérdida ocurre principalmente en la cortical ósea vestibular (3) . El efecto de la pérdida ósea se magnifica y varía en función de extracciones múltiples, ausencia de piezas adyacentes, calidad ósea y presencia de infección (3,4) . El mayor porcentaje de variación respecto a los cambios dimensionales ocurre en el primer mes y continúa en menor porcentaje los meses consecutivos (2) , dando como resultado la pérdida de contorno en los tejidos blandos y duros.…”
