Summary

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."

Detailed 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."

Conditions

• Alveolar Ridge Resorption After Extraction

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Modified Socket Shield Technique	The modified socket shield technique involves partial retention of the buccal aspect of the tooth root during extraction to preserve the surrounding alveolar bone and soft tissue. This technique is used to optimize the condition for delayed implant placement by preventing resorption of the alveolar ridge.
PROCEDURE	Conventional Tooth Extraction	Conventional tooth extraction involves the complete removal of the tooth without the use of the socket shield technique. This arm served as the control group, with alveolar ridge changes observed and compared with those in the experimental arm over time.
