What causes pain a year after the extraction/bone graft?
Val Alexander Daniyar, DMD says:

It looks like the pain had rather a sudden onset in the area that has healed since the previous regenerative surgery. My first suspicion would be another tooth adjacent to the area where the graft procedure was performed. See your dentist, such things can be easily diagnosed. Good luck !!
