Management of Postoperative Infection Following Implant Placement

A healthy 20-year-old patient presented with missing upper right second premolar, and implant placement was performed uneventfully. Unfortunately, he returned with a postoperative infection 3 weeks later. This was successfully managed with systemic antibiotics, and the treatment approach was changed to a 2-stage protocol. Contour augmentation was performed during Stage 2 implant surgery to restore buccal bone contour, and the implant-supported single crown was delivered without compromising the end result.

* 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.
