    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]

    The most common location of dry socket: in the socket of an extracted mandibular third molar (wisdom tooth). Since alveolar osteitis is not primarily an infection, there is not usually any pyrexia (fever) or cervical lymphadenitis (swollen glands in the neck), and only minimal edema (swelling) and erythema (redness) is present in the soft tissues surrounding the socket.

    This type of bleeding starts 2 to 3 hours after tooth extraction, as a result of cessation of vasoconstriction. Systemic intervention might be required. 3. Secondary bleeding. This type of bleeding usually begins 7 to 10 days post extraction, and is most likely due to infection destroying the blood clot or ulcerating local vessels.

    Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) [1] is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction to preserve the dental alveolus (tooth socket) in the alveolar bone. A platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) [ 2 ] membrane containing bone growth enhancing elements can be stitched over the wound or a graft material or scaffold is placed ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronectomy

    Approximately 0.65% of individuals encounter postoperative deficits in the Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) following coronectomy, a significantly lower occurrence compared to the 5.10% observed after conventional extraction procedures. Patients undergoing coronectomy are anticipated to experience easier recovery from IAN deficits compared to ...

    If unfavorable healing has occurred, the tooth can last into the medium term for 2-10+ years [30] depending on the speed of bone turnover. [34] [31] Long-term survival of the tooth only happens when favorable healing of the periodontal ligament has occurred. If this happens the tooth can be estimated to survive as long as any other tooth [33]
