Abstract
Introduction
Socket preservation is necessary to prevent resorption of bone. Alveolar bone remodelling is not an
intermittent process it is a continuous process in pathology and physiology but alveolar bone plays an
important role in the retention of teeth in particular position.
Aim: To assess Prevalence of socket preservation closure techniques done among the implants placed an
institution based assessment.
Materials and method: This study is an institution based assessment where 40 patients' case history
details who underwent socket preservation prior implant treatment were collected and socket
preservation closure techniques were identified and diagnosis was tabulated along with their age and
gender in excel sheet. Data tabulated in excel sheet was transferred to SPSS software for software
analysis. Based on analysis results were tabulated
Result: Based on statistical analysis results were analysed and tabulated.57.5% of the patients were aged
between 25-50 years .Most of the patients who underwent socket preservation were males (55%) when
compared to females (45%) .Most prevalent method of socket preservation closure technique is
conventional suturing where around 38 (95%) patients had conventional suturing
Conclusion: Socket preservation procedures used widely to manage the tissue dimensional alterations
after tooth extraction. These techniques are considered as predictable procedures to reduce the need for
extensive bone augmentation operations in implant dentistry. There are different socket/ridge preservation
techniques with different outcomes. Socket preservation closure technique also, plays an important role in
success of socket preservation.
