Dental implants with textured surfaces are a valuable adjunct in restoring edentulous sites of poor bone quality and quantity, but on occasion may become denuded of bone and require rescue. We report here the successful management of intrabony crater affecting a single porous-surfaced dental implant using a combination of citric acid decontamination and grafting with freeze-dried, demineralized allograft covered with a barrier of calcium sulfate.
