👉 The choice between conservative and radical alveoloplasty techniques is influenced by various factors, including the extent of bone irregularities, patient-specific anatomical considerations, and the intended prosthetic rehabilitation.

Alveoloplasty involves the surgical recontouring of the alveolar bone to eliminate sharp edges, undercuts, or irregularities that may impede the placement and comfort of dental prostheses.
