    Hello Dr. Kwon and Dr. Jin,   I have a question about the socket bone grafting I am planning for a patient's tooth 14, which has a fracured root.   Questions:   1) Can I use the PRF only for the grafting. If I need to use other bone materials in combination, what are your recommendations? (bands, bone type, size...)   2) Do I have to thoroughly clean up the socket after the 14 extraction, even if I am p...

My concern is that if I place the implant with a standard flap design will the CT gr...

Hi Mark,  I really appreciate your time showing me the CT scans.  For This sinus elevation, it looks like there's only about 4.7 mm of bone there...will a simple sinus "bump" technique be used or a lateral window technique with a bone graft? If a sinus elevation is required, can you do the sinus elevation and refer the patient back to me for the placement of the implant?  In the future, can your office email me the images immediately with th...
