Large Upper 2nd Molar Socket After Vertical Root Split
A 45-year-old man with #4 crown fracture and C deciduous tooth returns to clinic with chief complaint of "chewing pain" UL. It seems that the distal marginal ridge of the tooth #15 has simple oblique subgingival fracture. With one carpule of Xylocaine, the distal portion cannot be removed because of pain. X-ray reveals vertical root fracture (Fig.1,2). With additional carpules of Septocaine and Marcaine, the tooth is removed. The socket is large with abundant granulation tissue. After debridement, a large amount of Vanilla graft and a whole piece of Osteogen plug is placed for socket preservation (Fig.3).
