title: Socket preservation with alloplast: discussion and a descriptive case.
abstract: Soon after tooth extraction the bone resorption takes place reducing the height and width of alveolar ridge. This produces an altered morphology of the bone unfavorable for implant placement and implant placement becomes impossible without surgical correction. Socket grafting maintains and preserves ridge for implant placement.
