Comparison of dimensional changes and ridge contour around ovate pontics inserted immediately after extraction with and without buccal bone plate with different grafting procedures
Utilization of an ovate pontic provisional restoration in conjunction with ARP minimizes post-extraction ridge alteration and maintains natural morphology, providing a stable prosthetic foundation for fixed restorations, regardless of bone plate presence.
