Treatment plan question: #6 is pretty much toast as it stands now, he can floss all the way through it.
I gave him 3 possible fixed choices –
1. Crown lengthening, endo/post #6 and new bridge same as before – root is a mile long so that’s in our favor, but still guarded.
2. EXT #6 and new FPD 3-p-p-p-7-8, but that’s looong.
3. Section FPD at mesial of 3, EXT #6 and implants in 4, maybe 5, and 6. Question is would anyone attempt #6 as immediate implant assuming extraction goes somewhat atraumatic? Or is this graft and delayed placement for sure in your hands?
Jedediah and Erick-
The third option is definitely preferable if the patient is able to do that. Bone in those sites look good and when it comes to tooth number six if you do immediate implants often and most likely you would do an immediate in that case but if it seems a little bit out of your scope, then there’s no problem, grafting it and coming back and placing a healed site implant later I would do whatever you think is most predictable for you.
