The purpose of this study was to visualise
and to assess extraction sockets directly after extraction with the
use of a support immersion endoscope. This for reason, 132
extraction sockets were evaluated endoscopically post extractionem.
In 116 cases it was possible to compare the results with the
orthopantomogram which had been taken before the extraction.
The measured distances from the bottom of the socket to the limbus
alveolaris mesial were on average:
