Atraumatic extraction and clot preservation with PTFE: Thoughts?
Last Updated: Jun 06, 2012
When you can do an atraumatic extraction of a tooth and preserve the buccal and lingual cortical plates, is it necessary to do a bone graft with membrane coverage? If the cortical plates are still intact shouldnt the bone just fill in the extraction site? My experience has been that if the extraction is atraumatic, and you get a good blood clot, and the cortical plates have not been compromised, the bone heals well with minimal loss of bone volume in height or buccolingual dimension.If this is the case, how long after the extraction should I plan for implant installation?What would be an average wait for complete healing in the maxilla or mandible?
