Why every extraction deserves ridge preservation

Robert Thorup, DDS Season 1 Episode 2

Four reasons your patients should be offered ridge preservation:
1. It maintains the periodontal integrity of the adjacent teeth.
2. It preserves the right for future implant placement.
3. It maintains the ridge integrity for better implant options.
4. It improves the fit for fixed and removable prosthetic options should the patient choose those restorative options.
If you know the benefits, why aren't you offering this with every surgical extraction???
