Article Synopsis
- Soft-tissue defects and bone resorption commonly occur after tooth extraction, particularly affecting the buccal area, influencing implant planning in terms of size and position.
- Complex regeneration techniques are often suggested to address these issues, but they can be costly and sensitive to technique, while the socket-shield technique (SST) is a preferred method for minimizing bone loss and enhancing implant aesthetics.
- The case report highlights a successful approach using SST with Densah Bur and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) autograft for immediate implant placement in a patient with problematic root stumps, showcasing a minimally invasive strategy.
