Abstract:
Dental implantology has made great advances in recent decades. Improvements in implant designs, materials, surfaces and surgical techniques along with a better understanding of the biology allow for osseointegration to be achieved predictably. This has led to the widespread adoption of implants as a viable treatment option to replace a missing tooth or teeth. The goal of implant rehabilitation has shifted from being purely functional to restore esthetics as well. One factor that has a major influence on the functional and esthetic outcome of treatment is the timing of implant placement after extraction. The purpose of this presentation is to review the concepts of socket healing, describe the dimensional alterations in the ridge following extraction and the implications this has towards the outcome of implant rehabilitation.
