Socket management after hemisection and atraumatic tooth extraction preventing bone tissue atrophy

For adequate orthopedic dental treatment, not only the volume, but also the quality of the bone tissue in the defect area is important. Therefore, the preservation of the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction is a topical issue in dental surgery. In this regard, a study aimed at prevention of bone atrophy in alveolar process of the upper and lower jaws could be helpful. The clinical case described in the article shows that the simplest and most logical way to preserve the required volume of bone tissue is to prevent it from the atrophy, in particular by the method of atraumatic removal (partially of the root or tooth).
