The patient returns for implant placement 2.5 months after socket preservation at the site of #31. The socket has healed (Fig.1). The plan is to place an implant along the long axis of the socket (Fig.2 red line) at the center of the healed socket (Fig.1 dot) with osteotomes. But it cannot be done with osteotomes starting at the mesial portion of the socket (Fig.1 *).
