Abstract (J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2020;46:435-439)
Extraction socket preservation (ESP) is widely performed after tooth extraction for future implant placement. For successful outcome of implants after
extractions, clinicians should be acquainted with the principles and indications of ESP. It is recommended that ESP be actively implemented in cases of
esthetic areas, severe bone defects, and delayed implant placement. Dental implant placement is recommended at least 4 months after ESP.

I. Introduction
Tooth extraction triggers disuse atrophy of the surrounding
alveolar bone. Within 1 year of extraction, an average of 50%
of the ridge width is reduced. The average amount of loss was
between 5-7 mm, and 2/3 of this reduction occurred within the
first 3 months and showed similar patterns in all areas of the
oral cavity1. Since maxillary buccal cortical bone resorption
occurs after extraction, the center of maxillary ridge is moved
toward the palatal side. Maxillary buccal resorption is more
pronounced in molars compared to anterior and premolar ar-
eas, and mandibular buccal resorption occurs more frequently
than that of the lingual bone2. In 2009, a systemic review dem-
onstrated bone resorption of approximately 3.87 mm and 1.67
mm horizontally and vertically, respectively, during the first
three months after extraction3. In 2012, another randomized
controlled trial revealed that more than 60% of the total re-
sorption occurred during the first six months after tooth loss4.
Since disuse atrophy persists if not restored, many issues
with vertical and horizontal bone loss can occur. Additional
bone graft surgeries are inevitable for dental implant treat-
ment in areas of bone loss. To minimize bone loss, extraction
socket preservation (ESP) has been introduced, where bone
graft is performed at the time of extraction. However, the effi-
cacy of ESP has been controversial, and the procedure might
be unnecessary in some cases. At the time of extraction, the
clinician should make a decision based on the condition of
the extraction socket and surrounding tissues5. Extraction
sockets can be classified into four types according to degree
of bone loss, on which need for ESP can depend.(Table 1)
Alveolar ridge preservation and post-extraction preservation
of the socket are used synonymously with ESP6,7.
II. Controversy regarding ESP
1. Positive view
Since ESP is performed to minimize ridge atrophy after
tooth extraction, several advantages have been suggested,
including that ESP reduces the need for additional bone graft,
facilitates the implant procedure, and improves marginal
bone loss and survival/success rate of implants8. Avila-Ortiz
et al.9 reported that the ESP group had statistically signifi-
cantly less bone resorption of 1.89 mm horizontally, 2.07 mm
