Objective: The present study was performed to evaluate immediate implant placement with socket-shield technique versus using bone graft filling the jumping gap in the form of sticky bone in maxillary aesthetic zone. Subjects and Methods: Sixteen patients were included in this study (n=16), they were divided into two groups: group (I): eight patients were subjected to socket shield procedure with immediate implant placement. Group (II): eight patients were subjected to immediate implant placement with sticky bone in the jumping gap. After surgery each patient were evaluated clinically for: pain values, esthetic results using pink esthetic score (PES) and implant stability using Osstell device. All patients received immediate and 6 months postoperative CBCT to assess bone density and the dimensional changes in the labial bone plates. Results: The mean vertical bone loss value after 6 months in group I was 0.28 ± 0.13 mm contrary to group II which was 0.46 ± 0.19 mm which was statistically significant. The mean horizontal bone loss value after 6 months in group I was 0.17 ± .099 mm while in group II it was 0.25 ± 0.13 mm which was statistically not significant. Conclusion: Both socket shield technique and using the sticky bone to fill the jumping gap preserved the labial bone thickness and height with superiority of socket shield in preservation of its height.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
