Silverman, USA Case report A 55-year-old male presented to my office with a right maxillary alveolar abscess and bone loss asso- ciated with his maxillary right second premolar. The patient had visited his dentist approximately one month prior, as his crown had fallen out. The dentist replaced the crown and the infection became apparent soon after. After consulting with thegeneraldentistregardingtoothremoval,abone graftandimplantplacementwithfutureinternallift were planned. The fractured maxillary right second premolar was surgically removed, and a mineralized cortical bone graft as well as a cytoplast membrane was placed. Following healing, a CS 9300 (Carestream) CBCT scan was performed to take a cursory panoramic radiograph.
