About this video
A patient experienced significant bone loss due to chronic infection in a maxillary molar, which also compromised the right maxillary sinus. Treatment involved tooth extraction, debridement of infected tissue, sinus cleaning, and bone augmentation including ridge preservation and maxillary sinus augmentation. Despite the prior infection, sinus healing and bone regeneration were successfully achieved in a single procedure under local anesthesia. Six months later, implant placement and a connective tissue graft harvested via the trap door technique from the palate were performed, followed by implant uncovering six months post-implantation.
