SOCKET-SHIELD TECHNIQUE VS IMMEDIATE IMPLANT PLACEMENT FOR ALVEOLAR PRESERVATION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Alveolar ridge preservation strategies are indicated to minimize the loss of ridge volume that typically follows tooth extraction. Objective: This study aimed to systematically review studies that evaluate the effect that Socket Shield and Immediate Implant alveolar ridge preservation techniques during the period of 2012-2022, in order to provide evidence -based information to doctors in choosing most suitable technique for patients. Method: Pubmed, Science Direct, Cochrane, Clinical Trial databases were searched comprehensively for this systematic review. This study collected and summazied components published during the period of 2012-2022. Results: After the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, only nine unduplicated prospective controlled RCTs and non-RCTs were involved in the quantitative MA. At the 12-month evaluation period, Overall metaanalysis showed significant differences in the changes in buccal bone plate width (SMD =2,94; I²= 89,5%) and height (SMD = 4,474; I² = 92,1%). The use of SST was also associated with better pink esthetic score than immediate implants. Conclusion:Within the limitations of the present SR/MA, it might be concluded that Socket Shield had a positive effect on the esthetic rehabilitation better than Immediate Implant. However, this conclusion was dependent on very few well-conducted prospective RCT and non-RCT.
