Usually no bone graf: It is usually best not to graft the bone if there is an infection in the area. Grafting into an infected site usually will not have a successful result. Bone usually will grow back naturally without grafting if the infection is controlled. First treated the infection (debridement and antibiotic therapy), then undergoes maxillofacial surgery (extraction) without grafting. It is cheaper that way.
