AI Article Synopsis
- Maintaining facial soft tissue contour and interimplant papillae in the esthetic zone is difficult after tooth extraction due to tissue changes.
- The socket shield technique (SST) is recommended to preserve the surrounding bone and gum structure after extraction.
- This article discusses a specific complication that can arise from SST and introduces a new approach to managing that complication.
Article Abstract
It is challenging for implants in the esthetic zone to maintain the facial soft tissue contour and interimplant papillae. To counteract the inevitable hard and soft tissue changes after tooth extraction, the socket shield technique (SST) has been advocated as means to maintain the facial and/or interproximal osseous and gingival architecture. As SST is a technique-sensitive procedure, various complications related to SST have been reported. This article presents a unique complication after a socket shield procedure and a novel management of the complication.
