title: Comparing ridge resorption with various surgical techniques in immediate dentures.
abstract: The three surgical techniques of simple tooth extraction and labial plate and intraseptal alveoloplasty were compared. The results were confirmed by statistical analysis. The conclusion of this study clearly indicated that simple tooth extraction is the best surgical approach to be followed to preserve as much of the residual alveolar ridge as possible.
