Abstract
A 35-year-old woman presented to the dental clinic complaining of pain in lower right quadrant. Clinical and radiographic (CBCT) examination revealed badly decayed 46 with periapical pathosis. Atraumatic tooth extraction was performed using a periotome, followed by thorough curettage to remove periapical pathosis. Augmentation of the extraction socket done through placement of deep collagen layer, xenograft then sealing of the socket using collagen membrane. Bone width was assessed clinically by using bone caliper and radiographically through CBCT at the time of extraction and 4 months after the procedures. Alveolar ridge preservation using layering technique results in less bone resorption maintaining the tissues for implant placement.
Keywords: infected socket, alveolar ridge preservation, xenograft
