Abstract: The current concept of dental implants is to achieve functional and aesthetic rehabilitation with minimal trauma. Intervention at the very beginning of extraction could reduce the surgical trauma in late stage and complexity of bone and soft tissue augmentation. Ridge preservation involves the grafting in the extraction socket, preserving or augmenting the residual crestal ridge. The aim of this article is to review the definition, indication and key points during operation of ridge preservation. Combining with personal clinical experience, the development tendency of the technology has been discussed.

Key words: ridge preservation, bone augmentation, implant placement
