Alveolar ridge remodeling is a physiologic phenomenon that occurs after tooth extraction. Post-extraction alveolar ridge atrophy is more marked on the facio-coronal aspect. These dimensional changes are more pronounced in sites exhibiting a thin facial bone phenotype (Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02668289).
