#
prior (Fig 44W), the apical lesion of 16 has healed, however, tooth 28 has
supererupted due to the lack of opposing contact. This may have contributed

#
to the recurrent caries on 27 and subsequent radiolucency around the apex.

Pre-op – The placement of 15 implant may have contributed to the caries
#
#
progression of teeth 14 and 16, thus leading to inflammatory responses at

#
#
the root apices of 16. 28 can be extracted to prevent any future concerns, but

#
what are the treatment options now for implant 15 that has already been

placed and the issues it’s been causing?
