Abstract
The tooth root always aids in preserving the surrounding hard and soft tissues, favouring their functionality and aesthetics. Resorption of the alveolar bone following tooth extraction leads to deficits in both the hard and soft tissues. In order to prevent resorption after extraction, immediate implant placement, the use of graft materials, and the use of barrier membranes have all been reported in the literature. Despite different degrees of cortical bone preservation, none of these procedures completely avoided mid-facial recession after immediate implant placement. The socket shield technique can be used to prevent this. Here, in this clinical case report we present “the modified socket shield technique” in achieving successful aesthetic and functional outcome with procedural tips.
