Abstract

Progressive bone resorption after extraction of tooth may lead to prosthetic-driven and surgical difficulties when a dental implant has to be placed after extraction of tooth.This case report discusses an irreparable upper right first premolar with a dehiscence on buccal wall.A conservative tooth extraction was performed and the dehiscence was exposed after reflecting a full thickness mucoperiosteal flap.The socket and the dehiscence were then grafted using Nova bone putty and amnion membrane.After a healing period of 3 months and 9 months a CBCT analysis was done to check for regeneration in the grafted site.It can be concluded that grafting technique can lessen the alveolar bone resorption in the socket with dehiscence.
