After tooth extraction, a ridge preservation procedure can compensate resorbed hard tissue^1,2 and thereby reduce the number of secondary augmentations at implant placement¹.

Sealing an extraction socket with Geistlich Mucograft^® Seal can further improve soft-tissue parameters in extraction sockets with preserved buccal walls³. The round matrix provides an alternative to free gingival punch grafts.

Clinical case: Early implant placement with socket sealing for improvement of
soft-tissue parameters.

The use of Geistlich Bio-Oss^® Collagen and Geistlich Mucograft^® Seal minimises invasion and maximises soft-tissue outcomes².
