Abstract

From the time of extraction till the implant placement, there are remarkable alterations in the volume of bone as well as its morphology which can make the implant reestablishment very challenging. The alveolar bone architecture is restored by the socket preservation technique and this technique also arrests the hard and soft tissue collapse, minimizing the necessity for future augmentation procedure. Therefore, in order to place implants in the extraction socket, which were thought to be compromised, distinct techniques have been invented to achieve socket preservation. Therefore, the aim of this review is to direct on several techniques for rebuilding the socket following the placement of implant.
