To increase the aesthetic outcomes, the "socket-shield technique" has been proposed. This method involves maintaining the vestibular root portion and immediate insertion of the dental implant in close proximity to the root.Patients enrolled in this study were randomized to receive a postextraction implant in the aesthetic zone, either with the socket shied technique or with the conventional insertion technique. Implant survival, marginal bone level, and the pink aesthetic score were the outcomes evaluated.Implant survival rate was 100% in both the groups at 3 years. Implants inserted with the socket shield technique showed better values of both marginal bone level and pink aesthetic score (P < 0.05).Although such preliminary results need to be further confirmed, the socket shield technique seems to be a safe surgical technique that allows an implant rehabilitation characterized by better aesthetic outcomes info:eu-repo/semantics/article Similar works Full text Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca- Università degli Studi di FoggiaFull text is not available oai:fair.unifg.it:11369/366079 Last time updated on 9/3/2019 This paper was published in Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca- Università degli Studi di Foggia.
