Probably due to severe infection at #19, pain control is difficult.  Osteotomy has to be stopped 1.5 mm short of the design, as compared with Fig.3.  PA taken with a 4.5x10 mm dummy implant does not show the Inferior Alveolar Canal (Fig.1), whereas CT does (Fig.2 red).  Note the bucccal defect, which is repaired 11 months postop.
