Summary

In this study, the dimensional changes of the labial alveolar ridge are digitally assessed after immediate implant placement using the socket shield technique with computer guided sectioning of the root.

Detailed description

Ten hopeless teeth in the esthetic zone were included. A computer guide was used to section the root, leaving the coronal 2/3 of its labial part attached to the socket. An implant was then placed. Preoperative and Postoperative (5 months later) intraoral scans were superimposed with a digital software to assess the dimensional changes of the labial alveolar ridge. Linear changes at 1,3 and 5 mm from the gingival margin and mean linear changes in a specified Area Of Interest (AOI) were measured.

Conditions

• Edentulous Alveolar Ridge
• Dental Trauma
