Abstract
The resorption pattern after tooth extraction was studied in young rats for 8 wks. The alveolar crest resorbed, while the socket area within the basal bone filled in with new bone. The alveolar crest was delinated from the basal bone by the muscle attachment on the external surfaces. The shape of the residual bony ridge was determined by the location of the external muscle attachments. The surface contour of the edentulous ridge was determined by the amount of scar tissue between the epithelium and the residual bone.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
