In this article, the authors assess the benefit of socket preservation therapies in patients with a tooth extraction in the anterior or premolar region as compared with no additional treatment with respect to bone level.Abstract:
Objective: To assess, based on the existing literature, the benefit of socket preservation therapies in patients with a tooth extraction in the anterior or premolar region as compared with no additional treatment with respect to bone level.
Material and methods: MEDLINE-PubMed and the Cochrane Central Register of controlled trials (CENTRAL) were searched till June 2010 for appropriate studies, which reported data concerning the dimensional changes in alveolar height and width after tooth extraction with or without additional treatment like bonefillers, collagen, growth factors or membranes.
Results: Independent screening of the titles and abstracts of 1918 MEDLINE-PubMed and 163 Cochrane papers resulted in nine publications that met the eligibility criteria. In natural healing after extraction, a reduction in width ranging between 2.6 and 4.6 mm and in height between 0.4 and 3.9 mm was observed. With respect to socket preservation, the freeze-dried bone allograft group performed best with a gain in height, however, concurrent with a loss in width of 1.2 mm.
Conclusion: Data concerning socket preservation therapies in humans are scarce, which does not allow any firm conclusions. Socket preservation may aid in reducing the bone dimensional changes following tooth extraction. However, they do not prevent bone resorption because, depending on the technique, on the basis of the included papers one may still expect a loss in width and in height.read more

Surgical protocols for ridge preservation after tooth extraction. A systematic review.
TL;DR: The scientific evidence does not provide clear guidelines in regards to the type of biomaterial, or surgical procedure, although a significant positive effect of the flapped surgery was observed and the potential benefit of socket preservation therapies was demonstrated.

Effect of Alveolar Ridge Preservation after Tooth Extraction: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
TL;DR: Subgroup analyses revealed that flap elevation, the usage of a membrane, and the application of a xenograft or an allograft are associated with superior outcomes, particularly on midbuccal and midlingual height preservation.

Horizontal bone augmentation by means of guided bone regeneration
TL;DR: The aim of this review was to present the scientific basis of guided bone regeneration and the accepted clinical procedures, and a classification of bone defects, aiming at simplifying the decision-making process regarding the choice of strategy for bone augmentation.

Ridge Alterations Post-extraction in the Esthetic Zone A 3D Analysis with CBCT
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D analysis was carried out based on two consecutive cone beam computed tomographies (CBCTs) and a risk zone for significant bone resorption was identified in central areas, whereas proximal areas yielded only minor changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical relevance of dimensional bone and soft tissue alterations post-extraction in esthetic sites.
TL;DR: The knowledge of the biological events driving dimensional tissue alterations post-extraction should be integrated into the comprehensive treatment plan in order to limit tissue loss and to maximize esthetic outcomes.

Dimensional ridge alterations following tooth extraction. An experimental study in the dog
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that marked dimensional alterations occurred during the first 8 weeks following the extraction of mandibular premolars, and there was a marked osteoclastic activity resulting in resorption of the crestal region of both the buccal and the lingual bone wall.
