Soft Tissue Stability in Immediate Implant Placement Using (VST) Versus Conventional Flap in Type II Extraction Sockets

This study compare between the vestibular socket therapy (VST) and the traditional mucoperiosteal flap reflection in immediate implant placement in type II extraction socket in the esthetic zone. The technique of vestibular socket therapy (VST), introduced by Elaskry, enables the placement of implants immediately while simultaneously rehabilitating the entire socket, resulting in excellent esthetic and functional outcomes that meet the expectations of patients. VST involves socket augmentation through a minimally invasive vestibular access incision, eliminating the need for the traditional mucoperiosteal flap reflection, regardless of the extent of socket compromise.
