<br/><br/> Objective:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of socket shield technique compared with conventional immediate implant placement. Materials and Methods:The selected patients will be randomly assigned to the test group (n=10 cases) or the control group (n=10 cases). 20 patients of both genders (17males and 3 females),aged between 18-58 years (average of mean 36 years ) who had remaining roots in the esthetic zone with intact periodontal condition indicated for extraction were included according to the following criteria. Results:The maximum period of treatment will be fixed at nine months. The patient will be examined preoperative and immediate postoperative then nine months during the study period. Conclusion:From our point of view Socket shield technique (SST) was considered as one of successful techniques in preservation of alveolar bone integrity specially in terms of minimal or no alveolar bone loss which is recommended specially in the esthetic zone
