ABSTRACT
A case report of extractions of periodontally involved teeth with immediate implant placement and ridge preservation using alloplastic material is discussed. The bone graft substitute was for bone maintenance in the extraction sockets and around the dental implants. The case is followed for over one year through the restorative phase.

The combination of bone graft materials with guided tissue regenerative procedures has been shown to have predictable positive results in periodontal defects, especially furcations. The following case report will demonstrate a severe class II furcation defect in a maxillary molar that was treated with combination therapy using bioactive glass and a bioabsorbable membrane made of a copolymer of polylactic/polyglycolic acid. Six-month re-entry revealed substantial clinical fill of the furcation defect. Comparison radiographs also demonstrated fill in the region.
