Implant Placement in the Preserved Socket Using Socket Shield Technique With Autogenous Dentin Graft Versus Preserved Socket Using Socket Shield With Alloplast

Evaluation of Implant Placement in Preserved Socket Using Socket Shield Technique With Autogenous Dentin Graft Versus Preserved Socket Using Socket Shield With Alloplast (Controlled Clinical and Radiographic Study)

Alveolar bone resorption and labial bone plate reduction follow teeth extraction due to the deficiency of blood supply, derived from the loss of periodontal ligaments, and hence the socket shield technique with Bone graft was introduced to preserve the periodontal ligaments related perfusion and preserve socket dimensions for new bone formation.

This study aims to compare implants placed in two differently preserved sockets, the first one preserved using Socket Shield technique with Autogenous Dentin Graft while the other socket preserved using socket shield technique with Alloplastic bone graft material

Inclusion Criteria:

• One or more of non-restorable (fractured or decayed) tooth/teeth in the upper aesthetic regions (incisors, premolars).
• Intact labial/buccal periodontal tissues.
• Sufficient bone volume to allow placement of an implant.
• Non-Smoker
• Ability to read and sign an informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

• A medical history that contraindicates oral surgical treatment (uncontrolled/untreated diabetes mellitus, immunocompromised status,current radio/chemotherapy of the oral and maxillofacial region, treatment with oral and/or intravenous amino-bisphosponates).
• Untreated periodontal disease. [15,18]
• Vertical root fractures on the buccal aspect. [26]
• Tooth /teeth with horizontal fractures below bone level. [26]
• Tooth /teeth with external or internal resorptions.
