  • Title: Modified approach to the Bio-Col ridge preservation technique: a case report.
    Author: Fowler EB, Whicker R.
    Journal: J Contemp Dent Pract; 2004 Aug 15; 5(3):82-96. PubMed ID: 15318260.
    Abstract:
    With today's esthetic conscious population, the day of simply extracting a tooth and replacing it at a later date is unacceptable to many patients. It is vital to preserve and maintain the edentulous ridge and normal gingival architecture, which often collapses after tooth extraction. As clinicians, we must have multiple techniques available to preserve or restore the function and esthetics when teeth are unrestorable. This case report describes a modified approach to the "Bio-Col Technique." This modification simplifies the procedure without compromising the esthetic result.
