Background
A 28-year-old healthy female patient had developed a recurrent infection with a draining fistula on #8 after she injured the tooth when falling from an electric scooter. Following endodontic therapy, the tooth redeveloped pain.
Case Description
A CBCT was taken. The radiograph showed a large periapical lesion with limited ability to be able to do an immediate implant. The tooth was extracted, and the socket was grafted with an allograft particulate graft. After four months of healing, another CBCT was taken to plan for the implant. The bone had healed poorly, leaving the patient with minimal bone for implant placement. The plan was to simultaneously place the implant and to graft the defect and regenerate the bone.
