Research progress of the socket shield technique

Abstract

Abstract: The socket shield technique is a new technology emerging in oral implantology in the last decade or so. Its introduction is to fundamentally interrupt the process of physiologic resorption in the alveolar socket after the tooth extraction. But no consensus has been reached on the standard operation and long-term effect of this treatment. Meanwhile with the development of digital technology, how to accurately and efficiently apply the socket shield technique has gradually attracted attention. The clinical procedure, the complication, the evaluation index and the digital application of the socket shield technique will be reviewed in this paper, hoping to provide a theoretical basis for the promotion of this technique in oral implantology.

Key words: Socket shield technique, Clinical procedure, Complication, Evaluation index, Digitalization
