Some techniques such as guided bone regeneration with the use of bone fillings and membranes have been proposed to limit bone resorption. The socket-shield technique preserves a fragment of the vestibular root as a means of preserving the buccal bone cortex. This report describes a clinical case of coronary fracture in an upper central incisor that was partially segmented and the vestibular portion of the root was preserved to maintain the architecture of the vestibular cortex; at the same time, a dental implant with immediate provisionalization was placed. After the fixed rehabilitation and with a follow-up of one year, the preservation of the soft peri-implant tissues at the level of the mucosa and bone tissue was evidenced. No alterations in osseointegration were observed and marginal peri-implant bone loss was null. It is concluded that the socket-shield technique seems to clinically conserve the architecture of the mucosa and bone tissue without causing peri-implant diseases.
