Clinical Case Report
Early Placement of an Implant in a Maxillary Left First Premolar Site
In 2004, a 36-year-old male patient, a non-smoker, presented due to acute pain in the premolar region of the upper left jaw. An orthopantomograph revealed that tooth 24 had been endodontically treated. It also became evident that, during root-canal filling,endodontic filling material had been pushed beyond the apex. This material was located very close to the maxillary sinus floor. Due to this finding in combination with the severe pain and a possible root fracture, tooth 24 was extracted. The esthetic expectations of the patient were not too high and his individual esthetic risk profile summed up to a medium risk profile.

* General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.
** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
