About 5 months ago I extracted #18 [mandibular left second molar;37]. The tooth had previous endo. I thoroughly debrided the socket and placed a bone graft. I would like to install an implant now in this site ( I’m placing ankylos implants). The panoramic radiograph that I took shows an uneven bone density and quality in the site. The buccolingual bone volume is adequate for implant installation. This is obviously not an ideal graft response. Do you think that the graft resorbed? Should I go ahead and place the implant or is this going to cause a problem? Is there any chance that this site will increase in bone density? I do not feel confident about installing an implant. How should I manage this?
