Long- Term Follow-up of Extraction Socket Management

"Teeth were extracted atraumatically and without flap release in patients who have received prophylactic antibiotherapy and local anaesthesia. After checking the integrity of the buccal and palatal bone plate, biomaterial (Bio-Oss®) was introduced into the socket. A connective tissue graft harvested from the palate was inserted and sutured in buccal and palatal pouches in order to cover the socket.~chlorhexidine spray (0.12%) twice a day and Ibuprofen 600 mg three times/ day were prescribed whereas antibiotics were continued for 5 days. Tooth brushing was banned at the extraction site for 10 days and sutures were removed 10 days after surgery."
