Abstract

Socket preservation and augmentation have become the mainstays of dental implant therapy. The management of mutilated sockets following extractions has been a continuous challenge for clinicians, especially when preventing immediate implant placement. Autogenous grafts are the gold standard in bone grafting techniques, and the use of connective tissue grafts in ridge augmentation for correcting soft tissue defects is well-documented in the literature. The present case report involves a young male patient with generalized aggressive periodontitis and Grade III mobility of teeth 25 and 35, both of which had a hopeless prognosis. A treatment plan was established that included full mouth root surface debridement, extraction of teeth 25 and 35, socket preservation in both sockets, and open flap debridement. A cortico-cancellous chin graft and connective tissue graft were used for the augmentation procedure. Six months following augmentation, excellent bucco-lingual and apico-coronal dimensions were achieved. This case report demonstrates the predictability of using autogenous bone grafts and connective tissue grafts for functional and aesthetic augmentation of extensively damaged extraction sockets.
