One of the techniques that have been proposed to reduce the amount of bone resorption in anterior maxilla is the "socket shield (SS) ". This technique includes preservation of the facial segment of a root to be extracted and immediate implant placement. A technique of socket shield with delayed implantation using autogenous dentin graft for socket preservation, as an alternative to autogenous bone grafts, has shown predictable clinical and histological outcomes.
