Case I got yesterday. Patient really wants an implant at #18 site. Fun case! ~60yo female, non-smoker, no DM, no osteoporosis or any other bone-related diseases.

Looks like fun. Once that site is cleaned out thoroughly It should heal fairly predictively. Keep us updated.😊👍

How would you guys proceed with this case? I am assuming we will need to rebuild the facial wall entirely. Thought about using a titanium mesh membrane tacked down after scrubbing the remaining socket out and placing pt on antibiotics. Question is should we go ahead and graft or wait to heal before grafting and membrane placement?
