The patient, a 26\u2010year\u2010old female, experienced fractures in teeth #21 and #22 following a road traffic accident. For the restoration of tooth #22, the socket\u2010shield technique was employed to preserve the buccal root fragment, maintaining the natural contour of the surrounding soft and hard tissues. The socket was then filled with CGF to promote wound healing and facilitate tissue regeneration. Immediate implant placement was performed without raising a flap, and tooth #21 underwent endodontic treatment followed by full\u2010coverage crown placement. During the two\u2010year follow\u2010up period, clinical and radiographic evaluations were conducted to assess implant stability and tissue preservation. The results indicated favorable outcomes, with minimal bone resorption and stable buccal soft tissue contours. CBCT imaging revealed no significant changes in the alveolar ridge height or thickness. Furthermore, the application of CGF appeared to enhance soft tissue healing, contributing to a stable esthetic outcome in the anterior maxillary region. This case illustrates the use of the socket\u2010shield technique in combination with concentrated growth factors (CGF) for implant placement in the esthetic zone, where maintenance of peri\u2010implant soft\u2010tissue contours is a key objective. In this case, CGF alone was used to manage and seal the peri\u2010implant gap, without adjunctive particulate grafting, and stable peri\u2010implant tissues were observed during follow\u2010up. However, given the technique\u2010sensitive nature of socket\u2010shield therapy and the limitations of a single\u2010case report, further controlled studies are required to clarify long\u2010term outcomes and reproducibility.
