The clinical implication of this, among other factors that warrant discussion, is the limitations regarding immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone. On the other hand, staged approaches - even those combined with alveolar ridge preservation techniques and/or alveolar ridge reconstruction - do not always show predictable results, so that esthetic compromises are quite common. Only under optimal conditions do the current literature and common consensus reports support the use of immediate implant placement to preserve the natural esthetic architecture of the former periodontal structures that had surrounded the extracted tooth. Absolutely mandatory, among other factors, are a sufficient bony compartment and an adequate soft tissue volume. The present article outlines a clinical methodology to reestablish the missing prerequisites for the immediate placement of implants, even in periodontally compromised and severely reduced situations, combining different approaches reasonably approved by the literature. Thus, the so-called socket rebuilding technique (SRT) is presented in this article to ensure esthetic results under challenging periodontal conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":46271,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Esthetic Dentistry","volume":" ","pages":"408-422"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40706919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

C-shaped SS, L-shaped SS, and proximal SS designs have proximal extensions that help to maintain the hard and soft tissue in the interproximal areas. This is beneficial for implant sites adjacent to an existing implant or an edentulous space. The most common complication of the socket shield technique (SST) is internal shield exposure. Due to anatomical features such as a scalloped ridge shape and an oval socket shape of some teeth, the risk of complications such as internal shield exposure, inadvertent SS displacement, and fracture of the SS during implant insertion is greater in proximal shield areas.

The present article describes a novel anterior direct composite restoration technique for closing diastemata and changing tooth shape. The proposed technique, called the Front Wing Technique (FWT), does away with the use of the traditional wax-up and silicone index-based procedures. To date, there has been no effective way to transfer the anatomy modeled in the wax to the interproximal cervical area of anterior restorations every time these areas need to be corrected or restored. Therefore, the FWT provides a new approach to freehand model the emergence profile without gap formation. The cases in this article demonstrate the closure of maxillary and mandibular incisal diastemata, with the rationale behind each clinical step of the FWT described. This technique should be considered an alternative approach for the direct composite restoration of anterior teeth, saving chair time and cost.</p>","PeriodicalId":46271,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Esthetic Dentistry","volume":" ","pages":"378-393"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40706917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This strategy sought to take advantage of the autologous and shapable nature of TRPs, along with their space-making and shielding ability, and the tissue conductivity/inductivity of the preserved periodontal ligament (PDL). The present article reports on three cases of TRP-assisted GBR as part of immediate and staged approaches to implant therapy. The first case involves immediate implant placement into the extraction socket of a maxillary central incisor, where a TRP veneer, shaped from the extracted central incisor, was used during simultaneous lateral augmentation. The second case describes a staged approach to lateral bone augmentation for a severe buccal bony defect at the maxillary lateral incisor site, where sectioned blocks/pieces of an extracted third molar TRP were used with other bone graft materials. The third case describes aggressive vertical and horizontal bone augmentation for staged implant placement, where an extracted third molar was sectioned and placed on the native alveolar bone as a buccal and lingual bracket, then filled with bone graft materials. All three cases received final restoration and were shown to be stable and functional at the 3-year follow-up. Osseointegration has been well maintained, and the transplanted TRPs seem to be integrated with the native or regenerated bone or remodeled and replaced by the native bone.
