Small Implant for Skinny Lady
A 53-year-old lady has a small statue. The tooth #18 was extracted due to #17 impaction (Fig.1). To prevent further supraeruption of #15, an implant is to be placed at the site of #18 (Fig.2). After use of a 4 mm implant spacer and starter and 8 mm pilot drills, insert a short parallel pin for occlusion check and a calibrated one for X-ray. A relatively small and short implant will be sufficient for function. Scaling & root planing and #17 extraction have been finished.
