First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tested a dental implant technique called the socket shield, where a small piece of the tooth root is left in place to help preserve the surrounding bone. Twenty people with damaged front teeth received implants using this method and were followed for 18 months. The goal was to see if the bone around the implant stayed thick and healthy, and if the implants survived long-term.
