ALLERGY, CREST
The surgical intervention was performed by a dentist with experience in oral surgery and implantology at Hospital da Luz Coimbra (Coimbra, Portugal). After CT and X-ray examination, the patient was anesthetized with Artinibsa (articaine + epinephrine at a dosage of 72 mg/1.8 mL + 0.009 mg/1.8 mL, Inibsa Laboratories, Barcelona, Spain). The indicated tooth was extracted, and alveolar curettage was performed for complete removal of injured tissue and tooth remains. DEXGEL Bone was applied using a syringe and sculpted with a spatula, filling the alveolar socket without exceeding alveolar crest. BL® was mixed with autologous blood previously extracted from the alveolar defect and applied with a spatula. Gum tissue was then sutured to end the process. Volunteers were prescribed with ibuprofen 600 mg (Brufen 600, Mylan, Lda., Lisboa, Portugal) from 12 to 12 h for 3 days and amoxicillin 1 g (Cipamox, Laboratórios Vitória, Amadora, Portugal) from 12 to 12 h for 8 days. In case of allergy, azithromycin 500 mg (Zithromax, Pfizer, NY, USA) was prescribed once daily for 3 days.
