Key Points

Alveolar ridge preservation reduces the need for further augmentation after molar extractions—improving overall healing.
Changes in bone density were significantly less in sites where alveolar ridge preservation was applied compared to those without.
Assessment using clinical follow-ups and imaging techniques helps track ridge changes over time post-extraction.
These findings highlight the importance of alveolar ridge preservation for preventing future dental complications.
