Abstract
After tooth extraction the edentulous site begin a series of changes that affect height and width of the socket. To counteract these changes various “ridge preservation” techniques were purposed. It is defined as a advantageous procedure to maintain an acceptable ridge contour, after tooth extraction, this techniques allow the correct placement of an osteointegrated implant, lowering a consequent guided bone regeneration and reaching the esthetical requirements necessary for prosthodontics. In this literature review different ridge preservation techniques and clinical procedures have been analyzed. Different types of biomaterial, flap or flapless extractions, primary closure , use of resorbable membrane and implants placed in the fresh extraction socket will be compared; we will try to find a series of conclusions about the most indicated clinical procedures, basing on the scientific literature.
