Abstract
Background: Trauma during extraction and loss of periodontal ligament were the lead cause of alteration; therefore, many techniques were introduced to prevent the resorption of alveolar bone. The present study was conducted to assess dimensional changes in periodontium with immediate replacement of tooth by socket shield technique. Materials & Methods: 40 fractured central incisors were enrolled and PDL-mediated root preservation technique was planned with simultaneous implant placement. Results: Out of 40 patients, males were 22 and females were 18. Pre- operatively bucco- lingual alveolar bone width was 8.2 mm and post- operatively 9.3 mm. There was 2.1 mm bone loss pre- operatively and 2.5 mm post- operatively. The difference was significant (P
