Abstract

Aim: The present study was designed to compare clinically and radiographically 
between Socket shield technique versus Immediately Placed Dental Implants. 
Subjects and methods: This study was designed as a randomized controlled clinical 
and radiographic study carried out on 16 patients of both sexes. The Patients selected 
in this study were classified randomly into two groups. Group 1: The eight patients 
in this group received their implants right away immediately after extraction. Group 
2: Included 8 patients was receive Immediate implant with socket-shield technique. 
Results: For Probing depth correlation results, it showed positive correlation with all 
parameters, the strongest correlation was found with MBL while weakest correlation 
was found with Implant stability. For MPI correlation results, it showed positive 
correlation with all parameters, the strongest correlation was found with Implant 
stability while weakest correlation was found with MGI.. For MGI correlation results, 
it showed positive correlation with all parameters, the strongest correlation was 
found with Implant stability while nearly weakest correlation was found with MBL.
Conclusion: Socket Shield Technique is better than Immediately Placed Dental 
Implants and decrease marginal bone resorption and improve implant stability.
