Securing Mandibular Molar Graft Sites: Best Technique?
Last Updated: Jul 22, 2007
Any advice on the best way to secure socket grafts in mandibular molar sites during socket preservation? I plan on placing a Collaplug to cover the socket graft along with a removable flipper covering the graft site.
This worked well for me before with a graft in the maxillary anterior area. It seems more difficult to adequately seal and contain the socket graft for mandibular molars because of their size and location in the mouth, where saliva tends to pool. What are you doing to secure these graft sites?
