Preservation of residual bone dimension for immediate implantation using horizontal socket shield: A case report

Vertical bone loss post-extraction is influenced by inflammatory responses and bone remodeling. Horizontal partial extraction Therapy helps preserve bone by preventing additional resorption. A 50-year-old patient with a fractured incisor was treated using horizontal partial extraction therapy with a root form R3510 implant. One-year follow-up showed no vertical bone loss and minor implant deviation, confirming its effectiveness. This case highlights Horizontal partial extraction's potential in maintaining bone structure and calls for further research.
