Abstract
SUB-HEADING: Alveolar ridge preservation is done when immediate or early implant placement is not indicated. PURPOSE: Report a case of extraction of the maxillary premolar, followed by alveolar preservation and later rehabilitation with implants. CASE REPORT: A 52-year-old male patient sought care for the rehabilitation of upper left second premolar tooth, which had a longitudinal fracture. The radiographic examination revealed the proximity of the root apex to the floor of the maxillary sinus and alveolar preservation was chosen. CONCLUSION: The clinical decision-making process for preservation starts before extraction.
