Immediate tooth implant with socket-shield technique
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of placing a dental implant right after removing a damaged front tooth. One method keeps a small piece of the tooth root to help preserve the gum and bone, which may look better. It aims to see which method gives better results and appearance.
