The most common procedures I do on a routine basis, are atraumatic extractions with bone grafting and guided bone regeneration, followed by single or multiple implant placement at a later date. I do place immediate implants into extraction sites when the remaining boney socket is just right. For every bone grafting patient, at least one vial of blood is drawn, from which is derived leukocyte-platelet rich fibrin, for hydrating the graft material.
