Socket Shield Technique
Abstract: Extraction of teeth triggers a chain of proceedings that includes buccal plate bone which is not supported, reduced blood flow, resorption due to the plate's thinness. To avoid this categorization and generate a natural developing profile surrounding dental implant prostheses, a variety of therapies were tried. To do so, a novel treatment called socket preservation operations was created, in which the root was intersected and the buccal two - thirds of the root was kept in the socket, preserving the periodontium, bundle bone, and buccal bone. In addition, based on the position of the shield in the socket, categorization for the SST technique is supplied. This classification helps with a better knowledge of the preparation design. When a tooth is extracted, a fragmented root is left, particularly in the vestibular region of the root's most coronal portion. The ridge undergoes a dimensional shift after a tooth is pulled, which has been well described partial extraction treatment, root membrane method, and partial root preservation are all terms used to describe this surgery [1]. Unsightly black triangles grow between teeth as a result of loss of bone, soft tissues are migrated apically. This is a tough problem for a dentist in terms of replacing the missing tooth while preserving acceptable aesthetics, particularly in the frontal area.
