Socket Preservation Graft 1 article

Socket Preservation Graft is bone or bone-substitute material packed into an extraction socket to limit post-extraction ridge collapse and preserve dimensions for future restorative or implant planning. Materials may be autogenous, allogeneic, xenogeneic or synthetic and can be combined with a membrane or soft-tissue closure strategy depending on the case. The graft is intended to support bone remodeling rather than merely stop bleeding, which separates it from collagen hemostatic plugs and other absorbable dressings placed for clot stabilization alone.
