The healing extraction site: a donor area for periodontal grafting material.

In cases of advanced periodontal disease, it is likely that vertical osseous defects will be present and that selected teeth will require extraction. The healing extraction site provides a source of vital osseous grafting material for the treatment of these infrabony defects. The preparation and grafting of the recipient site, as well as the management of the donor area, are described in detail. Three cases are presented which illustrate the efficacy of this type of therapy.

Alveolar Process

Root amputation as a predictable procedure. Report of a case.

The diagnostic procedures required to arrive at an accurate treatment plan when one is confronted with severe periodontal and endodontic involvement in the same tooth are reviewed. A case report is presented, relating these techniques to the clinical situation. The clinical management of the "combined lesion," once the diagnosis and treatment plan have been determined, is described, with emphasis on methods which will improve the predictability of these difficult cases.
