A 34-year-old man (smoker (4 cigarettes per day)) has advanced periodontitis (Fig.1). After upper quadrant SRP, the teeth #14 and 15 are extracted with removal of granulation tissue from #14 palatal socket. Following copious irrigation with NS, a 10x20 mm Osteogen plug is inserted into #14 and 15 sockets. The plug is fixed in place with 4-0 Chromic Gut suture (2 of figure-8 fashion, Fig.2).
