Application of alveolar ridge preservation technique in periodontally compromised extraction sockets:From soft and hard tis-sue regeneration to followed implant restoration
Periodontitis can lead to the destruction of hard and soft tissue,and the periodontally compromised extraction sockets often suffer from hard and soft tissue defects,which will affect the followed implant restoration.Alveolar ridge preservation(ARP)can be performed at the same time with tooth extraction to promote the reconstruction of alveolar socket and reduce the resorption of alveolar ridge,in order to preserve hard and soft tissue.Taking the postoperative soft tissue change and followed implant placement into ac-count,this review aims to focus on the effect of periodontal infection on the healing of the alveolar socket,the effectiveness of ARP at periodontally compromised extraction sockets,and its influencing factors.
