Implant Placement with Simultaneous SFE: Lateral Window Technique with a Composite Graft
A 68-year-old woman presented for treatment to replace her maxillary right second premolar and first molar. Three years previously, her general dental practitioner had extracted tooth 16 because of a perforated root canal with a developing interradicular lesion. The patient was satisfied with the chewing function of her premolar occlusion until tooth 15 became symptomatic 2 months before presentation. Since a root fracture had developed, this tooth had to be extracted as well. The patient was a non-smoker. She had continuously received dental care by her private practitioner. Her plaque control and gingival health was, for the most part, excellent. Periodontal probing depths never exceeded 3 mm. She displayed a medium smile line; her esthetic demands were moderate to high. Her gingival biotype was classified as medium, and the dentition revealed signs of bruxism.

* 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.
