Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
There is a correlation between labial crestal bone width and percentage of bone resorption at pontic site with pontic shield technique and whole tooth extraction in maxillary anterior region, as evaluated by CBCT examinationTimepoint: There is a correlation between labial crestal bone width and percentage of bone resorption at pontic site with pontic shield technique and whole tooth extraction in maxillary anterior region, as evaluated by CBCT examination at 3 months follow-up period.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
pontic shield technique prevent reduction of labial crestal bone at pontic site, so it preserve the bone structure which can be helpful for implant prosthesis and fix partial denture.Timepoint: pontic shield technique, whole tooth extraction, CBCT
