Massage may be preferred to induce resorption of the tip of the bone that grows after tooth extraction, and if the result is unsatisfactory, revision surgery may be performed, as described below. Bone tips that grow after extractions may interfere with the seating of the denture and are prone to plaque and food residue buildup. The resorption of the tip can be encouraged by massaging the alveolar bone to take advantage of its remodeling properties. If the tip does not resorb or is painful, surgical removal is recommended. Under local anesthesia, the soft tissue covering the bone tip is cut and turned up to expose the bone tip, which is then trimmed with specialized instruments and sutured. If the tip of the bone produces pain, or infections and other symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, with the help of the doctor for targeted treatment.
