Longitudinal Soft Tissue Changes During Periodontal Ligament-Mediated Immediate Implant Placement with the Root-Membrane Technique.

CONCLUSION: The intentional retention of the buccal aspect of the root with its periodontal apparatus during immediate implant placement led to optimal soft tissue dimensional stability in the esthetic zone. This technique holds promise for clinical application, and further controlled clinical studies are warranted to determine the comparative clinical benefit from the use of this procedure.
