Implantology

Background:

The socket-shield technique, introduced a decade ago, has evolved significantly within partial extraction therapy.
This approach utilizes the patient's own tooth root to preserve surrounding bone and soft tissues.
Refinement of the technique is crucial for predictable outcomes in esthetic dentistry.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a standardized, step-by-step protocol for the socket-shield technique.
To illustrate the application of this technique in immediate implant placement and provisionalization.
To provide a reproducible framework for clinicians and data reporting.

Main Methods:

Detailed description of the refined socket-shield technique's specifications, steps, and instrumentation.
