    Author(s): Saumya Jitendra Kanode* and Anand Narayanrao Wankhede

    The alveolar process develops during tooth formation and goes through bone atrophy after a tooth or teeth are lost. This could happen because of periodontal disease, periapical pathologies, and mechanical trauma which cause loss of surrounding bone around the tooth. Thus, leads to the resorption of the alveolar ridge. Also, predisposing factors that affect alveolar bone loss following tooth extraction such as age, gender, systemic conditions, facial morphology, and functional stress on the extraction wound. Post extraction complications include loss of function, a reduction in vertical height, horizontal width, insufficient bone for dental implants, and prosthodontics difficulties. It has been noted that the size of the residual ridge shrinks more quickly within the first six months. After extraction, the maxillary arch tended to have more horizontal resorpti.. Read More»
