Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of the socket-shield technique(SST)concurrent with immediate im-plant placement and provisionalization(IIPP)in the aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth.Methods A case of maxil-lary anterior tooth stumps with a thin labial bone wall was treated with SST for preservation of labial soft and hard tissue fullness,combined with an immediate implant placement and immediate provisional crown for restoring the shape of the tooth and gingival molding.Results Immediate implant placement and provisionalization restored the morphology and function of the affected tooth in the shortest possible time.The patient's labial soft and hard tissue contours in the affected tooth area were well preserved in the 18-month follow-up after the application of the SST,which presented a better aesthetic result.The literature review indicates that the indications for SST are unrestorable maxillary anterior teeth,whose dental,periodontal and periapical tissues are healthy and intact.In the esthetic zone,root shielding is effec-tive in maintaining the soft and hard tissue contour on the labial side of the implant.However,there is no consensus on the technical details of SST,such as the ideal coronal height and thickness of the shield,and the management of the gap between the shield and the implant.Thus,more clinical studies and histologic evidence are needed to provide a refer-ence for clinical decision-making.In addition,digital technology can improve the accuracy of implant placement and shield preparation.Conclusion The correct application of SST combined with IIPP in the esthetic zone can ensure es-thetic results.However,more high-quality evidence-based medical evidence is needed for its long-term efficacy,and in-dications should be strictly controlled during clinical application.
