Abstract

Numerous publications have proved the dimensional changes alveolar ridges suffer after a tooth extraction. These changes lead, in most of the cases, to a width’s reduction close to 50%. Trying to minimize this physiological process which occurs after the extraction, different complementary techniques have been implemented in relation to dental implants placing. Many studies have tested how the dental root’s permanency in the alveolar bone attains to conserve the tissue dimensions to achieve esthetic restorations. Socket Shield technique, based on these criteria, is applied to avoid structural changes on the buccal bone plate, conserving a dental root portion which remains intact (the vestibular-buccal third), alongside with its periodontium. The dental implant is placed simultaneously to the dental extraction, behind the root remain.The stability and maintenance results of the alveolar bone volume are optimal, being this technique the only one which can achieve that. These results can be translated not only at the gingival margins, but also in the papilla architecture, a very important factor in the fixed prosthesis contours.
