Distoangular

A 23-year-old woman requests #17 extraction because of pain as related to late night lactation (Fig.1 (food <)).  The tooth is removed with buccal trough and sectioning (avoiding mesial elevation as much as possible).  Osteogen plug is placed against the mesial wall of the socket (horizontal placement, Fig.2).
