| Abstract | |
Socket shield technique is one of the recent and innovative methods to preserve the alveolar bone after tooth extraction. Though the research related to this technique is scarce and long-term outcome is yet to be known, this technique has been able to show a glint in preserving white and pink aesthetics. This is a case report of socket shield with immediate implant placement with respect to maxillary left central incisor followed by delayed loading in a 22-years-old male who had sub-optimal bone thickness in the labial aspect. |
