title: Three dimensional socket preservation: a technique for soft tissue augmentation along with socket grafting.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  A cursory review of the current socket preservation literatures well depicts the necessity of further esthetic considerations through the corrective procedures of the alveolar ridge upon and post extraction. A new technique has been described here is a rotational pedicle combined epithelialized and connective tissue graft (RPC graft) adjunct with immediate guided tissue regeneration (GBR) procedure.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We reviewed this technique through a case report and discuss it's benefit in compare to other socket preservation procedures.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The main advantages of RPC graft would be summarized as follows: stable primary closure during bone remodeling, saving or crating sufficient vestibular depth, making adequate keratinized gingiva on the buccal surface, and being esthetically pleasant.
