Abstract
Nowadays, placement of immediate implants in fresh extraction sockets is a well-recognized and widely practiced treatment modality. What was once a strict protocol is getting more and more relaxed to accommodate cases that were labeled as contraindications. Partial loss of buccal plate of bone, lesions in the socket, as well as multi rooted teeth can be tackled without the need to defer the implant placement to a later stage.
Root membrane with its synonymous name, socket shield, is a fairly new modality in immediate implants treatment protocol. It implies the vertical sectioning of the root preserving the buccal part to preserve the periodontal artery. This will, often than not, will keep the blood supply to the buccal plate of bone resulting in better
Preservation of the buccal hard and soft tissue; A crucial prerequisite for proper aesthetics in the anterior region.
