Background: Modified Socket shield technique, is an approach used to help maintain buccal bone level after implant insertion. However, the significance of bone grafting of the gap between the labial shield and the implant, in improving bone regeneration and prevention of the soft tissue ingrowth, has been described. Aim of the study: Evaluation of clinical and radiographic outcomes of using xenogenic bone graft on outcome of immediate dental implant placement using the modified socket shield technique. Material and method: 16 patients were divided into two study groups. Control group received an immediate implant with modified socket shield technique. Test group received immediate implant with modified socket shield and bone graft put in the buccal gap. Outcome measurement was primary and secondary implant stability measurement and radiographic evaluation. Results: Peri-implant BMD after 6 months for the test group showed to increase with a % change median of 39.4 % and this was fou...

The method of tooth extraction may affect amount of bone and thus may affect orthodontic tooth movement. Materials and Methods:This study is a split mouth clinical trial. A total of 14 female patients were enrolled in the study. Following the leveling and alignment stage, the patient was sent for extraction either with conventional forceps way for one side and the other side with the aid of the Piezotome. Results:The average rate of canine retraction for the four months of the study and the total amount of canine retraction weren’t significant. Regarding marginal bone loss,in control side (forceps extraction side) mean marginal bone loss was found to be 0.07 mm (+_ 0.1). In the piezotome side mean marginal bone loss was found to be 5.8 mm (0.23).The difference between two sides was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusions:The method of teeth extraction didn’t affect the rate of canine retraction into the extraction socket. Piezotome was believed to produce more atraumatic ...
