Removal of a Tooth with an Odontogenic Cyst in the Root Apex and Subsequent One-Stage Dental Implantation in One Visit

The patient came to us with complaints of acute pain in the area of ​​the sixth tooth on the lower jaw. According to the results of the CT scan, there was a cyst in the tooth root apex. The affected tooth could no longer be treated, so we removed the tooth and the cyst. During the removal of the cyst, we used surgical access through the hole of the extracted tooth and a small opening in the jaw bone located on the side.

The cavity in the jawbone, which was formed after the removal of the tooth and the cyst, was filled with osteosamine material to restore the volume of the bone tissue. Further, one-stage dental implantation was started, as the available bone volume was sufficient to place the implant (titanium screw acting as an artificial tooth root). A gingival shaper was also installed to create an even surface contour of the mucous membrane around the future crown of the tooth. A few months after the engraftment of the implant, a crown was installed on it.
