Alveolar Ridge Preservation

Dr Thaer Alqadoumi presents this lecture reviewing the biological processes that lead to ridge dimensional changes post-extraction and emphasizing the importance of preserving both hard and soft tissues to facilitate future implant placement or prosthetic rehabilitation.

Dr Thaer discusses various grafting materials and membrane options along with their indications, handling properties, and outcomes. The lecture also highlights clinical decision-making criteria, surgical techniques, and timing considerations for achieving optimal esthetic and functional results, as well as case examples illustrating how alveolar ridge preservation can reduce the need for future augmentation procedures.
