# Preservation of residual bone dimension for immediate implantation using horizontal socket shield: A case report

## TL;DR

This case report shows that a horizontal partial extraction method can help preserve bone structure after tooth extraction.

## Contribution

The study demonstrates the effectiveness of horizontal socket shield in preserving residual bone dimensions.

## Key findings

- One-year follow-up showed no vertical bone loss in the patient.
- Minor implant deviation was observed, confirming the method's effectiveness.
- The case supports the potential of horizontal partial extraction in bone preservation.

## Abstract

Vertical bone loss post-extraction is influenced by inflammatory responses and bone remodeling. Horizontal partial extraction Therapy
helps preserve bone by preventing additional resorption. A 50-year-old patient with a fractured incisor was treated using horizontal
partial extraction therapy with a root form R3510 implant. One-year follow-up showed no vertical bone loss and minor implant deviation,
confirming its effectiveness. This case highlights Horizontal partial extraction's potential in maintaining bone structure and calls for
further research.
