Alveolar bone atrophy is a chronically progressive, irreversible process which results in bone loss in both the buccal, lingual and apico-coronal region. Without bone preservation measures, bone resorption is experienced and continues for life. Preservation of alveolar ridge is indicated when a tooth-supported fixed partial denture will rehabilitate the area. Authors report a case wherein alveolar ridge was preserved and simultaneously biologic width violation was corrected. An excellent aesthetic outcome was achieved and the patient was satisfied with the case resolution. Ridge preservation is an easy procedure to perform and almost always, results are predictable. It provides a good esthetic and functional benefit to the patient and the clinician.Keywords: Alveolar ridge, ridge preservation, biologic width, resorption |
