Abstract
An alveolar ridge deficiency or ridge collapse may occur, when a tooth is extracted and the dento-alveolus and soft tissue collapses inward. Ridge deformities can create esthetic and functional dilemmas for the patient and restorative dentist. This article reviews the various techniques and procedures of alveolar ridge preservation and reconstruction.
Keywords: Alveolar ridge preservation, Alveolar ridge reconstruction, ridge augmentation.
