Root Membrane Replantation as an Alternative Technique for the Socket Preservation

Figure 3

(a) At 6-month follow-up, CBCT images show the replanted root membrane in strict contact with the implant abutment and the bundle bone. The arrow indicates the portion of root not covered by bone. (b) At 48 months, CBCT images are compatible with the complete covering of the root membrane (see the arrow), as if there had been migration of the bone over all the root membrane surface.
