Alveolar bone regeneration after tooth extraction is essential for maintaining ridge volume and integrity, ensuring the success of prosthetic and implant rehabilitations. This study conducted a literature review on histological and histomorphometric analyses of bone repair in extraction sockets filled with different biomaterials. The search, carried out in PubMed, SciELO, and BVS databases between 2020 and 2025, included 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that biomaterials such as biphasic calcium phosphate, bovine and dentin grafts, as well as combinations with platelet concentrates, demonstrate excellent biocompatibility and promote new bone formation. Recent studies also highlight the potential of innovative materials such as hydrogels and chitosan-based scaffolds in enhancing alveolar repair. It is concluded that the careful selection of biomaterials and the integration of bioactive therapies can optimize the regenerative process, establishing more predictable and effective protocols in modern dentistry.
