Socket Preservation Using Socket Shield Technique Comparison of Socket Preservation Using Socket Shield Technique With Autogenous Dentin Graft Versus Alloplast Graft Material

Comparison of Socket Preservation Using Socket Shield Technique With Autogenous Dentin Graft Versus Alloplast Graft Material (Clinical and Histological 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 autogenous dentine was introduced to preserve the periodontal ligaments.

this study aim to evaluate of socket preservation using alloplast with socket shield versus Autogenous dentin graft with socket shield through radiographic analysis of alveolar bone dimension change and mean bone density in addition to histological and histomorphometric analysis for the quality of the formed bone.

Inclusion Criteria:

• One or more of non-restorable (fractured or decayed) tooth/teeth in the maxillary aesthetic regions (incisors, premolars) in both side
• Intact labial periodontal tissues.
• 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, radio/chemotherapy of the oral and maxillofacial region, treatment with oral and/or intravenous amino-bisphosponates).
• Untreated periodontal disease.
• Vertical root fractures on the labial aspect.
• Tooth /teeth with horizontal fractures below bone level.
• Tooth /teeth with external or internal resorptions.
