Clinical and Radiographic of the Effect of Socket Preservation Using the Roll Pedicle Connective Tissue Graft With Bovine Bone: A Case Series Trial.

After tooth extraction, the residual alveolar ridge generally provides limited bone volume because of ongoing, progressive bone resorption. Healing events within post-extraction sockets reduce the dimensions of the socket over time. Therefore, socket preservation became an indispensable procedure as well as fundamental to prevent bone loss following tooth extraction. Preservation, by the name, is the maintenance of the socket, which is essentially the height and width of the gap that is left after the tooth is removed. It is done by placing a graft material or scaffold immediately into the socket of an extracted tooth to presto preserve bone height, width and density
