Comparative evaluation of the pontic shield technique versus whole tooth extraction on labial crestal bone resorption using cone-beam computed tomography in the maxillary anterior region: A randomized controlled clinical trial

Introduction: Following tooth extraction, there is comparatively more bone loss at the buccal aspect at 3 months of healing, which may result in 56% bone loss due to resorption of the bucco-facial ridge contour. In the socket shield technique, a tooth is planned for extraction in such a way that the...
