Abstract

Alveolar Ridge Preservation (ARP) in implant dentistry aims to preserve the existing soft and hard tissue envelope, further maintaining a stable alveolar ridge volume so as to simplify implant placement, improve functional, aesthetic outcomes, reducing need for further bone augmentation during implant placement, enhance survival and success rate, reduction of biological and technical complications associated with dental implants. Although literature suggests that application of ARP may reduce the need for further, simultaneous bone augmentation with respective to implant placement, this review article is an attempt to discuss various ARP techniques after tooth extraction.
