Post Extraction

A 65-year-old man returned to finish LR and LL quadrant SRP a few weeks post SRP for UR quadrant and #2 extraction (Fig.1-2).  He returns for UL SRP tomorrow ~ 3 months post extraction (Fig.4).  Although the patient cannot remember whether socket preservation is done or not, there appears to be bone graft in the socket.  The ridge is wide.  It seems reasonable to expand and condense the socket using Magic Split and Expanders (flapless).  If the patient cannot tolerate tapping, use DIO Bone Expanders.  A 6.5x9 (3) mm Magicore will be placed (Fig.5,6).
