This consensus statement, arising from a conference organized by the Giuseppe Cardaropoli Foundation, focuses on treatment options for managing post-extraction sockets in the aesthetic zone in conjunction with implant therapy. The report details a classification system for extraction sockets, considering both bone and soft tissue anatomy, and outlines various treatment approaches, including alveolar ridge preservation, immediate implant placement, and ridge augmentation. The consensus offers specific treatment recommendations based on the characteristics of the extraction site, including bone volume, integrity of the buccal bone, and periodontal phenotype. Ultimately, the paper aims to guide clinicians in selecting the most appropriate approach to post-extraction site management and implant placement timing. Immediate implant placement, early implant placement and delayed implant placement are discussed as possible options depending on the classification of extraction sites. The findings suggest that accurate site evaluation is crucial for optimal treatment planning.
