Does grafting at the time of extraction minimize ridge resorption?

Class 1 Recommendations Proven efficacy and effectiveness supported by 1 or more randomized controlled trials Results of trials consistently excellent Intervention is safe and definitely recommended and useful

Class 2a Multiple studies (prospective, retrospective, nonrandomized) with good results Considered intervention of choice by majority of prudent dentists Acceptable and useful

Class 2b grafting sockets Fewer studies (Case reports, intervention done on animals, studies without controls) generally but not always positive Considered acceptable safe and useful… within standard of care Considered optional or alternative treatment by most experts grafting sockets

Class 3 Positive evidence completely absent, or studies suggest harm Unacceptable, no benefit Intervention may be worse than doing nothing at all

Adopted from International Guidelines 2000 for CPR and ECC Class Indeterminate Promising, but few studies Contradictory results No harm, but benefit uncertain “More research needed” Adopted from International Guidelines 2000 for CPR and ECC
