The Use of Autogenous Teeth for Alveolar Ridge Preservation: A Literature Review

Alveolar ridge resorption is a natural consequence of teeth extraction, with unpleasant aesthetic and functional consequences that might compromise future oral rehabilitation. To minimize the biological alveolar resorption, several surgical procedures have been designed, so-called preservation (ARP) techniques. One important characteristic concomitant use biomaterial in ARP. In past decade, autogenous as bone graft material post-extraction sockets proposed very interesting outcomes, yet different protocols preparation. Here we summarize available evidence on ARP, its directions.
