The extraction of a tooth is always accompanied by the resorption of the surrounding support tissues, a problem with which the dentist is inevitably challenged as the loss of soft tissues limits the aesthetic and functional prognosis of rehabilitation.
The socket-shield (SST) technique is a promising complement to the treatment of patients with fixed rehabilitation, preserving the supporting tissues of the periodontal bone-ligament complex, especially in aesthetically challenging cases such as total rehabilitation.
The use of digital implant placement planning tools and surgical guides provides greater accuracy and precision in implant placement.
In this poster, we present the digital planning performed, the surgical technique of implant placement and total fixed upper rehabilitation of partially edentulous patient.
