A 50 year old female patient, usually healthy, who complained of sensitivity and pain in tooth 17, lasting for some time. A clinical examination showed a buccal sinus tract (fistula). Second degree buccal furcation involvement.A PA x-ray image with a gutta percha tip (Figure 1) raised suspicion of a crack. The tooth was diagnosed as lost. Tooth 17 underwent non-traumatic extraction with splitting of the crown and roots.

The TCP granules are used to stop the migration of the epithelium (contact inhibition) and is absorbed spontaneously during the bone formation.

After 6 months, a CT image and a clinical photograph were taken in preparation for installing the implant.

The implant was successfully installed with local sinus lifting.
