Abstract

Preservation and maintenance of teeth continue to be the dentists’ main strife for their patients. Yet, the extraction of certain hopeless teeth becomes inevitable. A cascade of events follow every extraction and finally lead to a loss in ridge dimensions. Ridge resorption is an irreversible condition that leads to a plethora of restorative problems that are both aesthetic and functional. As a result, a number of surgical procedures may be necessary for ideal implant placements in these cases. With ridge preservation, the aim is to turn these events into favorable ones for an optimum restorative outcome for the patient. The required procedures may involve hard and soft tissue grafting at the time of or soon after extraction. Various materials are now available and have been shown in the literature to preserve ridge dimensions successfully. In this chapter, the dimensional changes occuring in the ridge and the various materials that may limit these changes and preserve bone will be discussed.
