title: Implant therapy and apical actinomycosis: case report.
abstract: Treatment of periapical actinomycosis includes extraction of the involved tooth; however, indications for and timing of implant therapy remain unclear. In this case report, we describe treatment of apical actinomycosis in a 63-year-old woman following tooth extraction. After monitoring the patient for 6 months, implant therapy was carried out and remained successful after 1 year follow-up.
