Summary

Immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone is an approach that helps preserve soft and hard tissue architecture. However, post extraction bone resorption is still a significant challenge. The socket shield technique (SST) has emerged as a promising way for preserving the buccal plate, potentially improving implant stability and reducing radiographic bone loss. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the socket shield technique in the maxillary esthetic zone by assessing implant stability, radiographic bone loss as well as esthetic outcome over a specified follow-up period.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Socket shield concept and immediate implant placement

Tooth Sectioning: The tooth will be sectioned mesiodistally using a fissure bur, preserving the buccal segment. Palatal fragment extraction: carefully after sectioning the tooth , the palatal fragment is luxated and extracted with the most important factor is taking care of the buccal part not to become loose , the extraction is done using a periotome to be minimally invasive and to preserve the bone from major damage. Shield Preparation: The buccal fragment is reduced to bone level using a round bur, a beveled edge is created using a diamond football bur, and the shield is thinned to maintain structural integrity. Implant Site Preparation: Sequential osteotomy performed under copious irrigation, ensuring primary stability. Implant Placement: A Megagen implant is inserted
