Implant Placement with Simultaneous SFE: Transcrestal Technique with DBBM
Clinical Case Report
Clinical Case Report
A 68-year-old woman presented for treatment to replace her maxillary right second premolar and first molar. Three years previously, her general dental practitioner had extracted tooth 16 because of a perforated root canal with a developing interradicular lesion. The patient was satisfied with the chewing function of her premolar occlusion until tooth 15 became symptomatic 2 months before presentation. Since a root fracture had developed, this tooth had to be extracted as well. The patient was a non-smoker. She had continuously received dental care by her private practitioner. Her plaque control and gingival health was, for the most part, excellent. Periodontal probing depths never exceeded 3 mm. She displayed a medium smile line; her esthetic demands were moderate to high. Her gingival biotype was classified as medium, and the dentition revealed signs of bruxism.
