Abstract: The optimal three-dimensional position of dental implants could be obtained by using computer-assisted dynamic navigation based on intraoperative tracking and real-time feedback. The recession of peri-implant soft- and hard tissues can be largely reduced by the socket-shield technique due to the preservation of root segments and periodontal ligaments. Therefore, the combined use of computer-assisted dynamic navigation and socket shield technique in immediate implant placement may be of value to achieve a satisfactory clinical outcome. The aim of this article was to elaborate on the main procedure in the combined use of computer-assisted dynamic navigation and socket shield technique in immediate implant placement.

Key words: Computer-assisted dynamic navigation, Socket shield technique, Immediate implant placement
