Cover Story: The aim of gentle extraction, especially in the anterior region, consistently involves the preservation of as much bone as possible, especially the labial cortical plate and soft tissue. The concept of immediate implant placement is ultimately based on this scenario. However, even if immediate implant placement is not performed, the extraction should be as gentle as possible to avoid major resorption processes of hard and soft tissues to achieve a maximum long-term aesthetic outcome. Therefore, a number of clinical studies have already been performed to research the gentlest extraction method. We hypothesized that there is less volume loss after tooth extraction with the Benex® system than after conventional extraction and evaluated this with a 3D matching method of intraoral scans.
