Summary

After extraction of a tooth, the bony socket heals naturally but due to the absent of the tooth and any presence of support in the socket, bone resorption occur both vertically and bucco lingually or bucco palataly. This bony resorption ultimately effects a lot of things like - the support for the adjacent teeth become weak, the shallow ridge makes it difficult for future prosthesis retention, and less bony support for any implant placement in the future which is the most popular and effective way of tooth replacement now a days. So now a days keeping the integrity and contour of the alveolar bony socket is very important for the patients future rehabilitation. The use of scaffold will help to maintain the integrity of the alveolar bony socket thus provides a vital support for the adjacent teeth, preserve the alveolar crest height, maintain the bony contour, helps to prevent bleeding, and most importantly it will help in bone regeneration which is the vital factor for future rehabilitation.
