Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction. [1] [2] After tooth extraction, the jaw bone has a natural tendency to become narrow, and lose its original shape because the bone quickly resorbs, resulting in 30–60% loss in bone volume in the first six months. [3]
The most common location of dry socket: in the socket of an extracted mandibular third molar (wisdom tooth). Since alveolar osteitis is not primarily an infection, there is not usually any pyrexia (fever) or cervical lymphadenitis (swollen glands in the neck), and only minimal edema (swelling) and erythema (redness) is present in the soft tissues surrounding the socket.
Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) [32] is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction to preserve the dental alveolus (tooth socket) in the alveolar bone. At the time of extraction a platelet rich fibrin (PRF) [ 33 ] membrane containing bone growth enhancing elements is placed in the wound or a graft material ...
The above-mentioned surgical techniques include extraction without alveoplasty, extraction with labial alveolectomy, and extraction with intraseptal alveoplasty as described by Dean in 1923. The result of their study showed labial alveoloplasty had the most bone resorption occurring at the procedure area.
‘The risk of MRONJ after dental extraction was significantly higher in patients treated with ARD (antiresorptive drugs) for oncological reasons (3.2%) than in those treated with ARD for OP (osteoporosis) (0.15%) (p < 0.0001). Dental extraction performed with adjusted extraction protocols decreased MRONJ development significantly.
Dental crowns, tooth extraction, gum surgery Resorption of the root of the tooth , or root resorption , is the progressive loss of dentin and cementum by the action of odontoclasts . [ 4 ] Root resorption is a normal physiological process that occurs in the exfoliation of the primary dentition .
Dental anesthesia (or dental anaesthesia) is the application of anesthesia to dentistry. It includes local anesthetics , sedation , and general anesthesia. Local anesthetic agents in dentistry
The tooth could then be replaced with a dental implant. Alternatively, orthodontic extrusion can be used to achieve crown lengthening. Using brackets, light forces can be used to pull the tooth away from the gums within a few months. A fiberotomy is performed after crown lengthening and is easily performed by the general dentist.
