Effect of the socket shield technique on alveolar ridge dimensional changes in sites with thin buccal bone phenotype: A randomized clinical trial.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Post-extraction alveolar ridge remodeling is a major challenge for implant therapy, particularly in sites with a thin buccal bone phenotype. Although immediate implant placement has been proposed to limit ridge resorption, buccal dimensional changes remain frequent. The socket shield technique has been proposed to preserve the periodontal ligament-bundle bone complex and reduce post-extraction bone...
