Clinical relevance of dimensional bone and soft tissue alterations post‐extraction in esthetic sites

Vivianne Chappuis, Maurício G. Araújo, Daniel Buser

Short summary

Facial bone wall thickness is the most critical factor influencing post-extraction bone resorption, with thin walls (<1mm) showing 7.5mm vertical loss vs. 1.1mm for thick walls. Thin bone walls also lead to spontaneous soft tissue thickening (7x) after flapless extraction, unlike thick walls.
