Abstract
Alveolar atrophy following tooth extraction remains a challenge for future dental implant placement. Immediate implant placement and postextraction alveolar preservation are 2 methods that are used to prevent significant postextraction bone loss. In this article, we report the management of a maxillary tooth extraction socket using an alveolar preservation technique involving placement of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). Clinical examination revealed solid new bone formation 6 months after the procedure. At the time of implant placement, histomorphometric analysis of the biopsied bone showed that it contained 53.4 % mineralized bone, 19.30 % bone marrow and 13.2 % residual β-TCP. The healed bone was able to support subsequent dental implant placement and loading
