77-year-old female who came in for treatment of #37 (18) and extraction of #36 (19) due to deep periodontal pocket with active secretion and furcation involvement. The tooth is extracted atraumatically, and an implant is placed centrally, relying on the septum, using the Versah burs and Noris implant: Tuff 4.2×13.
Stable bone height around the implant 5 years after augmentation, even though the patient is an 82-year-old smoker with bad oral hygiene. Stability in the area also supports the surrounding, compromised teeth.
