Save or Extract the Implant?
Last Updated: Apr 03, 2014
I have a 25 year old patient complaining of a draining sinus which goes on and off for many years already following a root canal treatment. The patient had apicoectomies #8, 9 [maxillary right and left central incisors] done 10-12 years ago. The patient has a high lip line What should be the treatment plan? Should I try to save #8,9 or should extract? And if I extract them should I proceed with socket preservation or should I graft and install implants immediately? Which grafting material and protocol would have the greatest chance of success?
