  Beyond immediate implant placement, including implant selection, position and prosthetic connection, measures to counter negative hard and soft tissue changes associated with toot-extraction are critical to achieving long-term stability of health and esthetics. This often includes bone grafting and soft tissue augmentation. Particulate bone allografts, xenografts, alloplasts and combinations are often inserted within the “gap” between the inner facial wall of extraction sockets and the implant. Further research advocates placing bone grafts not only within this “bone zone”, but also within the “soft tissue zone” between the inner lining of the soft tissue sulcus and the anatomically formed provisional restoration or custom healing abutment. This method of grafting is referred to as “dual zone” bone grafting. Implementing dual.. View more»
