Abstract: Extraction often occurred in esthetics zone because of various factors, and the labial alveolar bone was rapidly collapsed and absorbed, which caused a serious aesthetic threat to the anterior teeth, but also brought great challenge to the subsequent implant treatment. Therefore, scholars had put forward various schemes to keep the labial alveolar bone. Socket-shield technique could maintain the contour of alveolar ridge for a long time,which might become a new implant treatment program in the esthetics zone.

Key words: Esthetics zone, Socket-shield technique, Immediate implantation
