One of the key factors in determining the esthetic success of implant-supported prostheses in the esthetic zone is the preservation of the natural architecture of the peri-implant tissues. A case replacing two maxillary lateral incisors with reduced buccal cortical bone by means of implant-supported crowns was illustrated. The socket shield technique was adopted to conserve the tissue volume, guided surgery was used to manage the optimal implant insertion, and anatomically shaped transmucosal implant components were selected to shape peri-implant soft tissues with the ideal emergence profiles and allow for direct digital impressions without scan bodies. The association of immediate implantation, guided surgery, socket shield technique, anatomically shaped transmucosal implant components, and digital impressions without scan bodies was used to achieve a successful rehabilitation with healthy, stable, and anatomically shaped peri-implant tissues.

Dental students often prefer social media for its accessibility and low cost but must critically evaluate the content before applying it in practice. This study analyzed YouTube content on socket shielding. A new Google account was created to search for "Socket Shield Technique" and "Partial Extraction Therapy.

Objective: Transcutaneous osseointegration prosthetic systems (TOPS) offer a stable skeletal attachment for artificial limbs post-extremity amputation, serving as an alternative to socket attachment. Press-fit osseointegration implants (OI) utilized in TOPS consistently enhance quality of life and mobility for amputees, particularly those experiencing socket-related issues. Despite notable benefits, late complications such as infection and implant loosening pose challenges unique to TOPS due to their percutaneous nature.

The purpose of this case report is to examine the management of vestibular bone fenestration during alveolar socket preservation using the Periosteal Inhibition (PI) approach. Here, for the first time, the PI technique, which has been shown to be successful in maintaining intact cortical bone, is examined in the context of a bone defect. : After an atraumatic extraction of a damaged tooth, a vestibular bone fenestration was discovered in the 62-year-old male patient.

Introduction: Following tooth extraction, there is comparatively more bone loss at the buccal aspect at 3 months of healing, which may result in 56% bone loss due to resorption of the bucco-facial ridge contour. In the socket shield technique, a tooth is planned for extraction in such a way that the tooth is sectioned in two halves, a palatal section is removed and the facial part is retained.

Objective: In the young and growing patient, tooth ankylosis impedes alveolar growth and presents a serious dilemma regarding the best treatment approach. Two common treatment approaches, extraction of the ankylosed tooth or a "wait and see" will result in a compromised alveolar ridge that can affect future prosthetic rehabilitation. The purpose of this article is to discuss five treatment strategies that can be utilized in the management of tooth ankylosis in the growing patient: (1) extraction, (2) decoronation or root submergence, (3) socket shield (partial extraction), (4) segmental osteotomy and (5) replacement with tooth autotransplantation.
