Extraction and Ridge Preservation: Making the Right Call

When a tooth comes out, bone loss follows… unless you do something about it. Here's the thing: extraction and ridge preservation should be one conversation, not two separate decisions. Why? → Preserves bone volume for future treatment → Prevents periodontal problems in adjacent teeth → Keeps future implant or prosthetic options viable → Creates a "window of opportunity" that doesn't last forever Even if a patient waits before pursuing implants, grafting at extraction puts them in a better position than waiting to see what happens. Smart treatment planning starts at the time of removal. 📖 https://solmetex.co/3SFTv9J #ExtractionPlanning #RidgePreservation #OsteoGen #DentalTreatmentPlanning #LongTermOutcomes
