(A,B) Tooth 43 and tooth 45 suffered severe periodontitis and were prepared for tooth extraction. (C) Following flap elevation and tooth extraction, severe buccal bone plate deficiency of the tooth 43 site was evident. (D) Freeze-dried bone allografts were mixed with blood and then packed into extraction socket in order to repair the tooth 43 buccal bone plate deficiency. (E,F) The blood clot forming procedure was performed using ErL irradiation without water spray under the non-contact mode, and the flaps were sutured. (G) After 6 months follow-up, the radiographic examination revealed favorable bone fill at the tooth 43 and tooth 45 sites. (H) Following flap elevation before implant placement, the dense bone tissue was evident at the tooth 43 and tooth 45 sites, and no soft tissue invasion into the ridge at tooth 43 site was noted. (I) A computed tomography scan showed bucco-lingually, an approximate 8 mm bone width at the tooth 43 site. (J) Clinically, an intact buccal bone plate with an approximate 8 mm bone width at the tooth 43 site was observed. (K) The dental implants were successfully placed into the tooth 43 and tooth 45 sites. (L,M) The final implant restoration revealed favorable conditions with healthy soft and hard tissues.
