Ortho or Not M

A 57-year-old man has food impaction in the upper left posterior sextant due to caries at #15 and 16 (Fig1).  The bridge will be sectioned between 13 and 14.  If the cantilever FPD of #12/13 is stable, place #14,15 implants in the normal mesiodistal position using surgical stent.  Otherwise the implants should be distal so that there is space to distalize the tooth #13 orthodontically prior to #12 implant placement.  Initial depths at #14 and 15 are 7 and 4 mm using IS and SCA kits.  Find surgical stent.
