Advances of bone substitute materials for alveolar ridge preservation / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) can prevent alveolar bone resorption,promote new bone formation and maintain the hard and soft tissue morphologies of tooth socket after tooth extraction,which plays an important role in the field of oral implantology.ARP has become a hot topic in dental research with the rapid development of bone substitute materials.This review focuses on recent development of various bone filling materials as well as future perspective of biomedical materials for ARP.
