Dental Implant in Fresh Socket
Last Updated: Oct 09, 2006
Dr. Taylor asks:
When placing a dental implant into a fresh socket, and there isn’t complete fill of the residual socket by the dental implant, would you fill the space with a bone graft and a membrane, or just use a membrane?
Also, how would your dental implant treatment plan differ if you wanted to provide immediate temporization in this situation?
