Socket Preservation Procedure

Preserving Your Jaw Bone after Extraction

A veces es necesario extraer los dientes debido al dolor., infection, bone loss, or due to a fracture in the tooth. The bone that holds the tooth in place (the socket) is often damaged by disease and/or infection, resulting in a deformity of the jaw after the tooth is extracted. en adición, when teeth are extracted the surrounding bone and gums can shrink and recede very quickly, resulting in unsightly defects and a collapse of the lips and cheeks.

Estos defectos de la mandíbula pueden crear problemas importantes al realizar la odontología restauradora, ya sea que su tratamiento involucre implantes dentales., bridges, or dentures. Las deformidades de la mandíbula por la extracción de dientes se pueden prevenir y reparar mediante un procedimiento llamado preservación de la cavidad.. Socket preservation can greatly improve your smile’s appearance and increase your chances for successful dental implants.

Several techniques can be used to preserve the bone and minimize bone loss after an extraction. In one common method, el diente se elimina y el zócalo se rellena con hueso o sustituto de hueso. It is then covered with gum, artificial membrane, or tissue, which encourages your body’s natural ability to repair the socket. With this method, the socket heals, eliminating shrinkage and collapse of the surrounding gum and facial tissues. The newly formed bone in the socket also provides a foundation for an implant to replace the tooth. If your dentist has recommended tooth removal, be sure to ask if socket preservation is necessary. This is particularly important if you are planning on replacing the front teeth.
