This study aimed to evaluate the dimensional changes in the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction using the socket shield technique without immediate implant placement. The changes using CBCT were assessed, focusing on the preservation of the ridge for delayed implant placement. This research could help improve dental implant outcomes by preserving bone and soft tissue structures."
