SOCKET SHIELD WITH PRECISION ATTACHMENTCASE REPORT

Abstract

Healing of the extraction socket results in dimensional adjustments with the intention to have
an effect on the placement of the implant and its emergence profile. Atraumatic extraction,
socket shield technique, and immediate implant placement lower the alveolar bone resorption
by means of keeping the postextraction socket. Hürzeler et al. delivered a socket-shield
approach with the aid of preserving a buccal fragment of the teeth to prevent the buccal
cortical bone from resorption. This case report shows partial extraction therapy with the
decayed teeth followed by implant placement with zirconia with Emax layering crown. A
precise subject of a removable denture in comparison to the different prostheses is retention.
The aspect of a removable denture which offers retention is known as a direct retainer. A
direct retainer can be both an extracoronal or intracoronal. One of the main disadvantages of
extracoronal retainers utilized in partial dentures is visibility. Many patients may not be
comfortable while these retainers are positioned on teeth in visible vicinity. The solution for
this trouble is using a Precision attachment. This case report also shows unilateral precision
attachment removable partial denture.
