Short Implant at Lower 2nd Molar
A 53-year-old man will return for #18 extraction and implant because of endo failure after the same treatment at #14 (Fig.1). It appears that the mesiolingual canal is missing for RCT (Fig.2 (coronal section at the mesial root)). Bony defect is buccodistal; try to place an implant as mesiolingual as possible (Fig.3 (axial section)). To reduce lingual (L) plate perforation and neuropathy (orange), the implant is expected to be 5-6x9 mm (Fig.4,5). Use 4 mm stopper from DIO Sinus Kit for osteotomy (Fig.1,4,5). If his vein is prominent, prepare PRF 1-2 tubes.
