A member asked:
Abscess in lingual root. tooth pulled then bone graft was put in. i didnt think about it @ the time but is it safe to put in bone graft w/ infection
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Graft: In general, you do not wish to implant or place anything in an area of infection. I would defer to your dentist and see if antibiotics are necessary at this time.
