Partial Extraction Therapy-Assisted Immediate Implant Placement in an Ellis Class VIII Fracture in the Esthetic Zone: A Clinical Case Report.

Partial extraction therapy (PET) is a surgical approach aimed at preserving the periodontium by maintaining part of the patient's tooth root during implant placement. This case report presents the detailed clinical management of a female patient diagnosed with an Ellis Class VIII fracture involving the right upper lateral incisor (tooth #12). The treatment involved the application of PET followed by implant placement, ensuring optimal esthetics and function while preventing alveolar ridge resorption. This case highlights that in the esthetic zone, instead of using the conventional implant placement method, the PET technique, when employed, resulted in a favorable emergence profile and optimal esthetic outcome within just six months. This case was documented to contribute additional evidence to the growing body of literature supporting this novel technique.
