UNLABELLED: Clinicians are often confronted with changes in the anatomy of the local site following tooth extraction. Successful management of the extraction socket can be challenging, particularly in the aesthetic zone. Proper management is necessary to ensure that the implant used to support a prosthesis will remain stable. This article will recommend a classification system for various types of extraction sockets. A simple, noninvasive approach to the grafting and management of sockets when soft tissue is present but the buccal plate is compromised following tooth extraction will also be discussed. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: This article discusses a classification system for extraction sockets and a noninvasive approach for grafting. Upon reading this article, the reader should: Understand the proposed classification system, which addresses three different types of sockets. Become more familiar with the steps involved in a socket-repair technique for Type II sockets.
