ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a printed surgical guide for root sectioning in the socket-shield technique. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

A typodont model of the maxilla with augmented filler was used for the upper right central incisor, and CBCT images were obtained. Two types of vertical root sectioning guides were tested one with a buccal sleeve (Group A, n = 10) and another with a buccal orientation slit (Group B, n = 10). Control group (n = 10) performed freehand cuts on printed models. After crown cutting with diamond burs, root sectioning was conducted using an ultrasonic tip with the guides. Mean and standard deviation were calculated for the remaining root length, width, and volume. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn's post hoc test.

RESULTS:

Statistical analysis showed significant differences in root width between the control group (2.0 mm) and both Groups A (2.655 mm; p < 0.0001) and B (2.460 mm; p < 0.0001). Group B (5.585 mm) also showed a significant difference in root remnant compared with the control (13.880 mm; p < 0.0043). Groups A and B did not differ significantly from each other.

CONCLUSIONS:

The socket shield technique is safe and effective, this study aimed to add improvements through the introduction of surgical guides, facilitating the root section, which is the critical phase so that the parameters that are requisite for success are achieved in terms of width, length, and volume of the root remnant. Both guided techniques effectively facilitated root sectioning, maintaining satisfactory root thickness and length. CLINICAL

SIGNIFICANCE:

Sectioning the root is challenging for the correct angulation to remove the palatal portion in the socket shield technique. Therefore, modifying this technique with the use of the presented guides, it is possible to prevent damage to the soft tissues and to plan the surgery with the help of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans to remove the root apex and maintain the root remnant with a thickness greater than 1.5 mm, making the socket-shield technique more predictable.
