Abstract: Immediate implant with the socket-shield technique was first proposed by Hürzeler in the year of 2010. It has been confirmed that this technique can preserve labial bone plate and periodontal ligament better than conventional immediate implant placement. It is more conducive to the maintenance of gingival margin position, soft tissue contour, gingival color, and character after implantation. This technique has been applied to clinics by many scholars for more than 10 years. But its operation process is not completely unified, which makes it difficult to popularize this technology in the clinic. The author's team has first started the clinical research of this technology in China in 2013. In this paper, a new dental shield management method different from Hürzeler's is proposed. The clinical treatment process and 7-year follow-up result of one case of the immediate implant with socket-shield technique in the aesthetic area are illustrated, in order to provide evidence and clinical experience for the clinical application of this technology.
