Since the third molars may overlap with the second ones, oblique incision (red line in Fig.4') will be mesial. Place Collagen and Osteogen plugs in the #32 and 17 sockets, respectively (Fig.4': C, O). As the roots are short and bone formation distal to the 2nd molars is critical, the plugs will be placed horizontally and coronally (Fig.4' white outline). No dovetail is needed.
