In many cases when there is no possibility for tooth restoration due to various reasons, tooth extraction is required. After the extraction within the alveolar ridge, bone resorption occurs, as well as a reduction of its height and width, mostly within the first three months of extraction. In order to prevent the increased resorption and preserve sufficient bone volume, the process of socket preservation can be implemented. It is a method of atraumatic tooth extraction, which aims to preserve the alveolar walls of the teeth and the surrounding soft tissue. This is followed by augmentation - socket preservation, the origin of which can be autogenous, heterogeneous, alloplastic or synthetic. Over the socket bone filled in such a way, a membrane is set (whether a non-absorbable or an absorbable one) that prevents ingrowth of connective tissue and affects the guided regeneration of bone tissue, and a temporary prosthesis is fabricated during the regeneration period. This is followed by the final implant-prosthetic rehabilitation. Socket preservation is a relatively simple and minimally invasive procedure with a predictable final outcome. It provides the volume of bone tissue, as well as the appearance, the amount and the stability of soft tissue for successful implant-prosthetic rehabilitation. In this way, one can obtain excellent results in terms of both aesthetics and functionality.
