The placement of a dental implant by creating the osteotomy through the remaining root can serve
as 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, and
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.
