Condensing Osteitis: Can I Place An Implant in this Situation?
Last Updated: Nov 15, 2010
Dr F asks:
I have seen implant sites with condensing osteitis present. Is it advisable to place in implant in an area of condensing osteitis? I know this is a contraindication legally, but does anyone have experience with this?
