Implants: Case #10
This patient was seen by another endodontist for non-healing root canals on Teeth #19 and 20. #20 was extracted months earlier yet an infection persisted and the extraction site did not heal. The non healing site was cleaned and a fracture was noted on the mesial root of #19. After a four month healing time a nicely healed ridge was present and Straumann tissue level implants were placed. The patient healed quickly and was very happy and is able to function normally.
