ABSTRACT
Dental implants have became a standard treatment for replacing missing teeth. After tooth extraction and placement of implant, the resorption of the bundle bone can pose a significant complication with often negative cosmetic impacts. Studies have shown that if the dental root remains in the alveolar process, bundle bone resorption is minimal. This technique involves maintaining the facial segment of a root that is intended to be extracted and immediately replaced with an implant by decoronating the tooth, sectioning the root. The implant is then placed and Once healing is complete and osseointegration occurs, a prosthetic crown is placed. This paper outlines a comprehensive step-by-step procedure for performing the Socket Shield Technique in patients, focusing on the preservation of the buccal root plate and placing crown.
