2. Dental alveolus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_alveolus

   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 ...

3. 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 ]

4. Bone destruction patterns in periodontal disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_destruction_patterns...

   The bone destruction patterns that occur as a result of periodontal disease generally take on characteristic forms. This X-ray film displays a horizontal defect . This X-ray film displays two lone-standing mandibular teeth, #21 and #22: the lower left first premolar and canine, exhibiting severe bone loss of 30-50%.

5. Alveoloplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveoloplasty

   The main essence of prosthetic rehabilitation in regard to alveoloplasty is maintaining the width and height of alveolar ridge so that it will provide stability and retention for prosthesis such as denture and even dental implants as the forces acting from the prostheses will be distributed evenly on the alveolar mucosa and alveolar ridge.

6. Alveolar osteitis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_osteitis

   Alveolar refers to the alveolus, the alveolar processes of the mandible or maxilla; osteitis is derived from oste-, from Greek, osteon meaning "bone"; and -itis means a disease characterized by inflammation. Osteitis generally refers to localized inflammation of bone with no progression through marrow spaces (compare with osteomyelitis). [4]

7. Dental extraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_extraction

   Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) [32] is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction to preserve the dental alveolus (tooth socket) in the alveolar bone. At the time of extraction a platelet rich fibrin (PRF) [ 33 ] membrane containing bone growth enhancing elements is placed in the wound or a graft material ...
