Factors influencing post-extraction ridge atrophy

author: Nikos Mardas | publisher: drg. Andreas Tjandra, Sp. Perio, FISID

Many factors have been suggested as having an influence on post-extraction ridge atrophy. Among these, the most significant are:

  • pre-existing pathological processes that have damaged the bone prior to extraction;
  • excessive pressure from a removable prosthesis;
  • the presence of a thin bone phenotype;
  • the number of missing teeth, that is, the more teeth that are missing, the greater the atrophy.
