2. Socket preservation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_Preservation

   Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction. [1] [2] After tooth extraction, the jaw bone has a natural tendency to become narrow, and lose its original shape because the bone quickly resorbs, resulting in 30–60% loss in bone volume in the first six months. [3]

3. Complete dentures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_dentures

   When clearance of the dentition is the only viable treatment option, immediate dentures can be constructed prior to the extractions and fitted once the teeth have been removed, at the same appointment. Such dentures help restore masticatory (chewing) function and aesthetics whilst at the same time allowing a period for the soft tissues to heal ...

   RAIs are custom made to perfectly fit the tooth socket of a specific patient immediately after tooth extraction. Therefore every implant is unique. As an optimised root-form it is much more than a simple 1:1 replica of a tooth. Since it exactly fills the gap left after the tooth is extracted, surgery is rarely needed.

   In 1976: Michael and Barsoum researched on patients who had immediate denture placement. They related the amount of bone resorption in relation with different surgical techniques. The above-mentioned surgical techniques include extraction without alveoplasty, extraction with labial alveolectomy, and extraction with intraseptal alveoplasty as ...
