The literature identified variations in socket seal surgery, each with limitations. This case series aimed to observe the outcome of using autologous dental root (ADR) for socket sealing on socket preservation (SP). A total of 9 patients with 15 extraction sockets were documented. After flapless extraction, the xenograft or alloplastic grafts were placed in the sockets. Autologous dental roots were prepared extraorally and applied to seal the socket entrance. All SP sites healed uneventfully. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan was performed after 4-6 months of healing to evaluate ridge dimensions. The preserved alveolar ridge profiles were verified on CBCT scans and during implant surgery. Implants were placed successfully with a reduced need for guided bone regeneration. Histological biopsy specimens were examined in 3 cases. The histological examination demonstrated vital bone formation and osseointegration of graft particles. All patients completed the final restorations and were monitored for 15.56 ± 9.08 months after functional loading. The favorable clinical outcomes support the use of ADR for SP procedures. It was not only accepted to patients but also easy to perform with low complication rates. The ADR technique is thus a feasible method for socket seal surgery.
