At 2 weeks after tooth extraction, the apical and lateral parts of the socket are filled with woven bone, while the central and marginal portions of the socket are occupied by provisional connective tissue. On the inner and outer surfaces of the socket walls, numerous osteoclasts can be seen. In several areas of the socket wall, the bundle bone has been resorbed and replaced with woven bone.
