Abhishek Singh*

With the aim of obtaining an excellent aesthetic result, implant dentistry has turn into a prosthetically driven practice. The socket shield technique has exhibited the possibility in avoiding buccal tissue from resorption in animal and clinical studies. In order to reduce the resorption of hard and soft tissue, which prevails around the newly extracted tooth to form a natural emergence profile, socket preservation technique was brought in. It is pretended that retaining a root remnant adhered to the buccal bone plate can evade tissue change after tooth extraction. This case report depicts of a young patient with fractured tooth in left central incisor, in which immediate implant placement with socket shield technique was initiated where root was bisected and buccal two-third of the root was retained in the socket so that the periodontium along with the bundle bone and buccal bone remains intact.
