Implant placement through ankylosed root?

2022-10-09 08:26:36 By : Ms. Jocelyn Zhang

Patient has an ankylosed root of tooth #9. Can I place an implant through the root? Or do I have to extract the root and do a conventional placement? Will a buccal bone graft needed? Buccal thickness is about 0.75-1.5 mm with 0.75 mm at end of implant. Thank you very much for your help.
