Implantation in areas #25 #26

Even in the case of delayed implantation after performing tooth extraction and socket preservation surgery the bone quality feels poor when implanted.Even if X-rays are taken during surgery, when implanted to sufficiently submerge into the native bone, I think there are many cases where I feel more at ease.

This is a 60-year-old male patient. Patient visited the hospital because of discomfort in areas #25 and #26.

First, teeth #25 and #26 were removed.

In this case, in cases where mucosal thickening is severe in the left maxillary sinus, extraction is performed first. Delayed implantation was planned.

However, after the extraction, I looked closely at the CT image again. Radiopaque is observed in the left maxillary sinus.

In a photo taken more than 2 months after extraction, the same radiopaque is observed. The maxillary sinus membrane is also thickened. In this case, fugal infection in the maxillary sinus is suspected.
