Clinical Advantages of Implant Osteotomy Through the Remaining Root in the Mandibular Premolar Region.

Creating an osteotomy through a remaining root to place a dental implant is a placement option that offers various advantages. These benefits include more precise drilling with reduced vibration in cases with limited available bone or with anatomical structures (such as the mental foramen and inferior alveolar nerve) in close proximity to the planned osteotomy, as well as facilitating the extraction of an ankylosed tooth following root canal treatment. This case report presents a detailed description of the surgical and restorative procedures involved in placing an implant in a mandibular premolar area.
