Ball Abutment

Root canal therapy of the tooth #5 of a 84-year-old man failed due to the obliterated canal ~2 years earlier (Fig.1).  He requests extraction and implant (IS) to retain the mobile upper RPD.  PRF is prepared to repair the apical lesion.  Take photos of the latter before surgery.  Make sure no leakage of bone graft, including suture, multiple reline and perio dressing.
