About

This study aimed to evaluate the dimensional changes in the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction using the socket shield technique without immediate implant placement. The changes using CBCT were assessed, focusing on the preservation of the ridge for delayed implant placement. This research could help improve dental implant outcomes by preserving bone and soft tissue structures."

Full description

"In this clinical trial, the dimensional changes in the alveolar ridge following tooth extraction were investigated using the socket shield technique. The socket shield technique involved partial retention of the root structure to preserve the surrounding bone and soft tissues. No immediate implant placement was performed, and the ridge changes were assessed at multiple time points through CBCT scans. The study included a specified sample size, and participants underwent a follow-up of 6 months after socket shield preparation. This research aimed to provide insights into how well the socket shield technique preserves ridge dimensions over time, potentially optimizing future implant stability."

80 participants in 2 patient groups

Modified Socket Shield Technique

Experimental group

Description:

Participants in this group underwent partial tooth extraction using the modified socket shield technique to preserve the alveolar ridge for delayed implant placement. CBCT scans were used to evaluate ridge preservation over time.

Treatment:

Procedure: Modified Socket Shield Technique

Conventional Tooth Extraction

Active Comparator group

Description:

Participants in this group underwent conventional tooth extraction without the socket shield technique. The alveolar ridge was evaluated using CBCT over the same period as the experimental group for comparison.

Treatment:

Procedure: Conventional Tooth Extraction
