Extraction socket preservation is a fundamental procedure in contemporary implant dentistry, aimed at maintaining the integrity of the alveolar ridge following tooth extraction. Upon tooth removal, the alveolar bone undergoes rapid resorption, resulting in significant dimensional changes that can complicate subsequent implant placement. Socket preservation techniques aim to counteract this bone loss by filling the extraction socket with graft materials, thereby preserving the ridge's volume and morphology. This not only enhances the aesthetic outcomes of implants but also improves their long-term stability and function. Various materials and techniques are employed in socket preservation, including autogenous bone grafts, allogeneic and xenogeneic grafts and alloplastic grafts materials. Additionally, barrier membranes and growth factors may be utilized to enhance bone regeneration and soft tissue healing. Clinicians must carefully evaluate each patient's unique circumstances to determine the most appropriate socket preservation approach. This book therefore attempts to illustrate and help the read to know more about socket preservation procedures.
