Introduction
Periodontally compromised tooth with hopeless prognosis may
institute therapeutic extractions. The functional and esthetic
replacement of the teeth being removed and their supporting
tissues should be taken into prior notice, when extractions are
planned. Fixed bridge options were the benchmark for esthetic
replacements previously. Increased awareness and widespread use
of dental implants have made preservation of both alveolar bone
and essential gingival contours possible for esthetic restoration.
Use of minimally invasive technique ensures an atraumatic extrac-
tion which is the frst possible step ensuring a better esthetics and
function. This holds true if an implant is planned for extraction
site. Adopting an appropriate technique enables the treatment in a
shorter time and with fewer surgical procedures thereby preserv-
ing the alveolar ridge anatomy, aiding the prosthetic management.
Ridge preservation should be considered in strategically essential
sites to maintain the prospect of an implant preference for the
patient in the future.
The goal of the site-preservation technique is to minimize dam-
age of alveolar ridge contours secondary to osseous remodeling,
increase bone regeneration within the extraction socket, and pre-
vent soft tissue collapse associated with tooth loss. The bio-col
alveolar ridge preservation procedure takes the beneft of the
synergistic effect of merging surgical and prosthetic site- conser-
vation protocols. The surgical procedure makes sure the conserv-
ancy of both hard and soft tissues at the period of tooth removal,
and it reduces or eradicates the bone resorption that normally
follows. The prosthetic protocol uses interim restorations to sup-
port the soft tissues neighboring the extraction site, thereby avert-
ing the ridge collapse during maturation. The usage of grafting
material in any stoichiometric form is suggested as it clues to re-
duced resorption of alveolar crest. The advantage using an array
of regenerative materials like bone graft within a collagen scaffold
will give more structured bone with no signs of in growth other
Abstract
Following extraction of tooth, a considerable change in alveolar ridge anatomy occurs pertaining to morphology and dimen-
sion in a short span of time. These variations can signifcantly affect future rehabilitation process if not planned. An implant
placement may become more complicated if bone resorption is more. Tissue engineering aims to reestablish functional,
healthy tissues and structures in order to supplant unhealthy, dying, or deceased tissues. Diverse tissue regenerative techniques
have been established for rectifying bone defects with the intention of creating an effcient and appealingly agreeable pontic or
implant restoration situates. A simple minimally invasive procedure immediately following tooth extraction known as Bio-Col
alveolar ridge preservation technique decreases the necessity for reestablishing challenging ridge defects. This case represents
a revised technique of preserving socket in periodontally compromised situation using a combination of platelet rich fbrin,
collagen scaffold and bone graft followed by rehabilitation with implant for esthetic replacement. Clinically and radiographi-
cally effcacious restoration of the alveolar ridge, with the ability to receive functionally and esthetically acceptable implant
site was demonstrated.The modifcation simplifes the technique without negotiating the esthetic outcome. This procedure is
benefcial in maintaining alveolar bone and soft tissue architecture.
