Immediate implant placement in extraction sockets with buccal plate deficiency presents clinical and aesthetic challenges. The ice cream cone technique is a flapless guided bone regeneration approach designed to stabilize graft material and preserve soft tissue contours. This case report describes immediate implant placement in a Type 2 extraction socket using a Fix-Guide membrane shaped as an ice cream cone and an organic bovine bone graft (A-OSS), achieving adequate primary stability and favourable aesthetic outcome. Clinical and radiographic evaluation in this case report demonstrated successful osseointegration, stable peri-implant soft tissues, and preservation of ridge contours.
