Abstract: Favorable soft and hard tissue morphology is the basis of successful implant therapy, following a tooth extraction, the alveolar ridge undergoes physiological remodeling which affects prosthetically driven implant restoration. Alveolar ridge preservation can effectively preserve the soft and hard tissue contour of tooth extraction sites and create conditions for implant restorations. Good wound closure is one of the important keys to ensure the success of the operation. This article discusses different methods of wound closure, in order to provide a reference for the clinical application of this technique to achieve ideal results.

Key words: Wound closure, Alveolar ridge preservation, Severe periodontitis, Implant therapy
