Aim of study: The current study aims to evaluate a buccal plate augmentation in alveolar ridge preservation as a strategy for management of single tooth extraction sites in aesthetic implant therapy. Material and Methods: The study involved 10 patients with 10 extraction sockets. The patients were divided, according to use of grafting material for buccal plate augmentation prior to dental implant placement, into two equal groups, study and control. The study group had buccal plate augmentation performed at the time of extraction, in contrast to the control group were no preventive measures were performed. Assessment was divided into both clinical and radiographic. The predetermined follow up periods were as follows: preoperative, 6 weeks (1.5 months), 12 weeks (3months), and 24 weeks (6 months). Results and Conclusion: Results showed a statistically significant difference with p<0.05 when comparing both groups. Buccal plate augmentation after extraction proved to be an efficient technique to preserve alveolar bone for future implant placement. Additionally buccal plate augmentation has proved to enhance soft tissue appearance.
