Dimensional Changes of Alveolar Ridge After Tooth Extraction Using the Socket Shield Technique Without Immediate Implant Placement: A Randomized Controlled Study
The modified socket shield technique with delayed implantation demonstrated superior maintenance of buccal bone plate height and ridge width, along with significantly higher primary implant stability, compared to spontaneously healed sockets. This approach is beneficial for maintaining ridge integrity when immediate implant placement is not planned.
