Summary:

There are many advantages to the bone grafting coffering technique which requires autogenous bone grafts taken from a ramus area with a resorbable membrane. Bibliographic support and clinical experience in this technique show that the risk of bone resorption is reduced and that there are minimal complication risks. In addition, the bone quality attained during implant placement can reach a good primary stability with an optimum positioning in a second phase. This technique remains dependent on the experience of the treatment team and should only be chosen after evaluating other treatment options.

The immediate extraction implantation technique has formed part of the therapeutic armoury of practitioners for a few years with equivalent results to the delayed approach when the indication is well established and the required clinical conditions are present.

Can post-extraction resorption be avoided?
A biological approach.

In our daily practice, in the course of oral rehabilitations, we often have to combine patients’ demands in terms of functionality, aestheticism, nociceptiveness, minimal invasion, affordability, implementation time and stability of results, with the biological needs of the healing process, the osseointegration, the design and the implementation of transitional and final prostheses, while combining dental and implant treatments.

It is well established that tooth extraction leads to dimensional variations of the alveolar ridge resulting in a significant reduction in osseous volume.

According to a recent systematic review published by Tan et al. in 2012,  horizontal bone loss is estimated to be between 29-63 % and vertical bone loss is around 22 %.
