Descriptive study demonstrates sequential tissue remodeling during extraction socket healing, highlighting cortical bone bridge formation for wound closure.
The healing of an extraction socket involved a series of events including the formation of a coagulum that was replaced by (i) a provisional connective tissue matrix, (ii) woven bone, and (iii) lamellar bone and BM. During the healing process a hard tissue bridge--cortical bone--formed, which "closed" the socket.
