Proximal socket shield for interimplant papilla preservation in the esthetic zone

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Managing the interimplant papilla is one of the most challenging tasks in anterior implant esthetics, especially when replacing a failing tooth adjacent to an existing implant restoration. This article describes the maintenance of the interimplant papilla when replacing a failing tooth adjacent to an implant restoration using the proximal socket shield procedure in conjunction with immediate implant placement and provisionalization.
