Socket shield technique versus conventional immediate implant placement in thin buccofacial bone to evaluate buccal bone resorption
A randomized controlled trial
Keywords:
Thin buccal bone, Socket shield technique, Immediate implant, Esthetics, Buccal root aspectAbstract
Objectives: The alveolar ridge resorbs and collapses following tooth removal which continues to be a major concern for practitioners. Many researchers concluded that buccal aspect of the ridge is more prone to resorption, as it is primarily supplied by the periodontal tissues and ligaments of the tooth1. Recently, several papers were published concerning the socket shield technique explaining how to maintain the ridge width and height. Socket shield technique aids at retaining the buccal fragment of root in place thus placing the implant behind the lingual aspect of that fragment so as aid in preventing the collapsing of the buccal bone. This would help in improving aesthetics especially during immediate implant placement in the anterior maxillary region (schroop et al, 2003). Materials and Methods: The patient passed through phase I therapy (Supragingival scaling, subgingival debridement and oral hygiene instructions) before any surgical procedures.
