Preservação alveolar do rebordo ósseo

Abstract

Alveolar preservation after tooth extraction is a topic of increasing relevance in dentistry, with a focus on minimizing bone loss and maintaining alveolar bone architecture to facilitate future interventions, such as dental implants. This work reviews the effectiveness of different methods of alveolar surgical preservation, comparing techniques with and without bone grafts, in terms of bone atrophy and implantation success. The literature highlights the importance of preservation to ensure good aesthetic and functional results, in addition to minimizing the need for future invasive procedures. Factors such as type of tooth extracted, age and systemic conditions of the patient influence bone resorption. The use of biomaterials and advanced techniques, including grafts and membranes, demonstrates effectiveness in preserving bone volume and promoting tissue regeneration. Thus, the review contributes to the development of personalized protocols, optimizing clinical practice.
