By the end of 2019, 27 atypical pneumonia cases of unknown etiology were presented in Wuhan, China. The symptoms of the patients suffering from the new viral pneumonia were fever, dry cough, dyspnea, and fatigue. The virus was named coronavirus type 2 causing severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease was named in February 2020 by the World Health Organization as coronavirus disease COVID-19. The routes of transmission from person to person include direct transmission by inhalation of cough droplets, sneezing, and indirect transmission, through fomites that contact the oral, nasal, or ocular mucous membranes. Dentists, due to the unique nature of the procedures they perform, have a high risk of COVID-19 cross-infection, since when working in the patient's mouth they are exposed to a large number of saliva drops and aerosols that are produced during dental treatments. ...

Luego de la exodoncia dentaria el hueso alveolar se remodela progresivamente lo que conlleva a una pérdida ósea horizontal y vertical que repercute en la futura rehabilitación oral principalmente cuando se instalan implantes dentales. Distintas técnicas como la regeneración ósea guiada con el uso de rellenos óseos y membranas se han planteado para limitar la reabsorción ósea. La técnica de “socket-shield” preserva un fragmento de raíz vestibular como medio para preservar la cortical ósea bucal. El presente reporte describe un caso clínico de fractura coronaria en un incisivo central superior que fue segmentado parcialmente y la porción vestibular de la raíz fue preservada para mantener la arquitectura de la cortical vestibular, al mismo tiempo se colocó un implante dental y provisionalización inmediata. Posterior a la rehabilitación fija y con un seguimiento de dos ...
