Socket Grafting without Flap Reflection : Surgical Protocols

1. No need to raise a flap in a socket with 4 bony walls.
2. After extraction and complete debridement, activate and place the cement into the socket.
3. Place a dry, unfolded gauze above the cement and press firmly for 3 seconds, first with a finger and then with a periosteal elevator.
4. Protect the exposed cement with Augma Shield™.
5. Suture and secure Augma Shield™ in place with a cross stitch suture.

Expert Tips:

• The cement should be well compacted in the cervical zone, though filling the apex zone is not crucial.
• During the initial stage of healing, the cement should not be left exposed.
• If Augma Shield™ is not available in your country a simple collagen sponge or plug can be used instead.
