The next case shows a loose right cuspid and a failing vitreous carbon implant that was able to be lifted out of its socket with two fingers, figs. 25, 26. The massive amount of bone loss from both the over-retained tooth and the failing implant invaded a good portion of the labial and buccal plates of bone respectively, fig. 27. Bladevents were inserted mesially and distally to the sockets, fig. 28. Sterile plaster of Paris was used to fill up the socket to prevent epithelial invagination and increase rapid osseous regeneration, fig. 29. Healing was uneventful, fig. 30, and the acrylic over gold full arch fixed prosthesis was fitted and cemented, figs. 31, 32.
