SOCKET PRESERVATION USING NOVABONE FOR FUTURE IMPLANT PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Alveolar bone loss may occur due to a diversity of factors such as periodontitis, aggressive manipulation during extractions, endodontic pathology and facial trauma. Socket preservation provides greater control and predictability in preventing site collapse and esthetic compromise. It is a simplified, minimally invasive regenerative approach for optimizing the preservation of the hard and soft tissue components of the alveolar ridge immediately following tooth extraction. The preservation of bone volume is of major importance in order to ensure the proper implant and esthetic rehabilitations.
