      When to bonegraft?

      Pt came in with swelling and failing RCT with fracture. Pt has been dealing with it for 2 years. When do you forgo socket preservation? I am worried about any graft failing and may be better to go back in after infection clears up and extraction of tooth.

      Thoughts?

      • You can either try to remove all of the infection (consider degranulating with a bur) if you have all four walls present, of you can extract/degranulate as much as possible, and then go back 2-3 weeks later to do the bone graft.
