Place Implant Away From Lesion

A 47-year-old man will return for #15 extraction and implant (Fig.1).  Bone loss seems to be the most severe around the mesiobuccal root (Fig.2 *), from which the osteotomy should stay away (Fig.3).  Take PVS impression for the sockets.  Use Tatum osteotomes for sinus lift.
