DOI: 10.3290/j.qi.a30765, PubMed ID (PMID): 24392492Pages 23-30, Language: EnglishCherel, Fabrice / Etienne, DanielA scalloped anatomy maintained between two adjacent crowns supported by immediate implants is presented in this clinical case. This is a modified concept of the socket-shield technique, which allows preservation of the papilla due in part to preservation of interproximal root fragments. Clinical results at 11 months after implant placement are presented.
