“…A customized impression post should be made for an accurate transfer of gingival contour to the cast for the proper fabrication of the restoration. 57 Anatomically contoured healing abutments contain and protect slowly resorbing substitution grafts, resulting in hard and soft tissue volume preservation. Even in healed sites, customization of healing abutments demonstrated favorable outcomes compared to standard healing abutments.…”

Aim:To evaluate the role of socket-shield technique for ridge preservation in immediate implant placement sites. Background: The socket-shield technique seems to be beneficial for ridge preservation despite its insufficient documentation. In this case report series, implants were placed immediately after extracting a hopeless teeth using this technique and then were followed up for 1 year to document functional and esthetic outcomes. Cases description: Five patients presented with a non-restorable teeth were treated using the socket-shield protocol and immediate implant placement. Roots were dissected in a mesiodistal direction along the long axis down to the apex; a periotome was later used to detach the palatal fragment of the root, while keeping the buccal one. Following sequential osteotomy drilling, implants were placed. The gap between the implant and the shield was filled with a synthetic bone grafting material. A customized healing abutment with an S-shaped emergence profile was prepared to support a coronal emergence profile of the tooth. Patients had follow-up visits after 6 weeks and 5 or 6 months before proceeding to prosthetic reconstruction phase. Screw-retained porcelain fused to metal crowns and titanium abutments were inserted intraorally with 35 N cm torque and screw-access holes were restored. Conclusion:The socket-shield technique along with immediate implant placement is a minimally invasive approach that can preserve the hard and soft tissue contour of the ridge and can be implemented in areas of high esthetic demands for better esthetic outcomes.

Introduction: This study aimed at testing the effect of the socket shield technique on the maintenance of the labial plate of bone and the change in position of its surrounding gingival soft tissues upon the immediate placement of 3 different dental implants systems, with a bone graft material filling the defects around the implants, followed by clinical and radiographic evaluation using the cone beam computed tomography after 4 and 12 months of loading. Materials and Methods: Three groups, 6 male patients each, having a failing central or lateral maxillary incisor, had their failing tooth partially extracted, with the remaining tooth half reduced to be the socket shield, then the 3 groups received 3 different dental implants systems, the Tapered Internal implant RBT Laser-Lock for group I, the Touareg-S implant for group II, and group III received the Nobel Active implant. Then, the Novabone putty bone graft was dispensed in the space between the implant and the shield and covered with a customized healing abutment. After 4 months of healing, the patients were provided with definitive restorations, and followed after 4 and 12 months for gingival recession, papillae filling the interdental spaces, and CBCT evaluation of the labial plate of bone width and vertical resorption. Each result was then statistically analyzed. Results: For all the cases in the study, no implant failed, no gingival recession was recorded, and the interdental papillae filled their spaces in most of the cases. also, no significant changes were recorded for the labial plate of bone width or height. Conclusions: The socket shield technique was able to maintain the labial plate of bone and the position of the overlying free gingival margin, with the neighboring interdental papillae showing least dimensional changes.

Introduction: For the long-term success of implant treatment, prevention of biological complications, including pre-implant diseases, plays an important role. The use of antimicrobial coatings is one of the prosperous methods in this field. The aim of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of healing abutments coated with gelatin-curcumin nanocomposite. Method: This study included 48 healing abutments in the form of a control group (titanium healing abutments without coating) and an intervention group (titanium healing abutments coated with gelatin-curcumin nanocomposite). The disc diffusion method was used to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of coated healing abutments against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis and the results were reported in a non-growth zone area. Results and Discussion: Gelatin-curcumin nanocomposite caused significant non-growth aura for all three bacteria compared to the control group. For the control group (healing abutments without coating), the antimicrobial effects (non-growth zone) were zero. Besides, gelatin-curcumin nanocomposite had the greatest inhibiting effect on the growth of S. aureus, then E. coli and finally E. faecalis. Conclusion: The results of our study showed that the coating used was able to significantly demonstrate a non-growth zone against all three bacteria compared to the control group without coating. Further evaluations in various physicochemical, mechanical, and antimicrobial fields are necessary for the animal model and clinical phase.
