A member asked:
When there is an apicectomy on molar tooth roots that is then filled with synthetic bone, is that molar easy enough to extract after osseointegration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: The bone augmentation is no harder than your own bone, since it is actually your own bone that migrates into the graft site to replace the graft. Hope you don't need to extract that molar after all the work put into saving it.
