Socket preservation using a bio-scaffold material- A Case Report

Socket and ridge preservation are emerging as innovative techniques to minimize the post-extraction hard and soft tissue collapse. The exaggerated tissue loss in case of compromised sockets often presents an aesthetic and prosthetic dilemma to the clinician. Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) enhances the osteogenic differentiation and the healing process so can be utilised for socket preservation. Use of allograft in conjunction with PRF proved to be effective in minimizing soft/hard tissue loss and also helped in tissue gain.
