Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Maxillary Anterior Region Using Socket Shield Technique Followed By Immediate Implant Placement: A Case Report

Description
Abstract
Socket shield technique (SST) is the retention of buccal aspect of the root followed by implant placement. This technique is effective in preserving the alveolar ridge contour, reduce its resorption and improve peri-implant stability. It helps in enhancing the aesthetic results of rehabilitation by maintaining the integrity of the bundle bone complex even when the buccal bone is less than 1mm. Preserving the periodontal ligament and the supra-crestal attachment of the tooth through socket shield technique have the potential to avoid buccal bone remodelling. This case report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient who had reported with a fractured maxillary central incisor, using Socket shield technique followed by immediate implant placement. Chair-side provisional restoration fabricated using Bisacryl composite was delivered to achieve optimal esthetic and functional treatment outcomes.
