About

Twenty-nine patients needing single tooth replacement in aesthetic area were treated by extraction and socket preservation with saddle connective tissue graft between September 2009 and February 2012. Computed Tomography scan were taken at baseline just after the surgery and 3 months later. Long- term evaluation of this particular socket management procedure was evaluated by recalling successfully seventeen of theses patients in June 2016. At this time, a clinical and radiographical consultation was done and Cone Beam CT was taken. Horizontal and vertical bone dimensional changes were then assessed thanks to 3D imaging analysis and esthetic and implants outcomes were evaluated.
