Dentoalveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction: biological events (Part I)

Dentoalveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction: biological events (Part I)

Following dental extraction, alveolar ridge resorbs creating potential challenges for implant therapy, resulting in inadequate bone volume and unfavourable ridge architecture.

This article is about dentoalveolar ridge preservation, a concept many researchers have explored in the past few years.
