This record was last updated July 24, 2025 (before its estimated June 1, 2026 completion). Its status may not reflect the trial's current state.

Summary

Immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone is an approach that helps preserve soft and hard tissue architecture. However, post extraction bone resorption is still a significant challenge. The socket shield technique (SST) has emerged as a promising way for preserving the buccal plate, potentially improving implant stability and reducing radiographic bone loss. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the socket shield technique in the maxillary esthetic zone by assessing implant stability, radiographic bone loss as well as esthetic outcome over a specified follow-up period.
