Narrower Longer Fixture
After use of 4x7.3 mm drill with guide, the buccal osteotomy height is 4 mm at #19, unsuitable for 4x5 mm Bicon implant, which requires 3 mm subcrestal placement. PA shows 4.3 mm bone from the Inferior Alveolar Canal (IAC, red dashed line (the superior border)). Following 4x8.5 mm drill, a 4x7 mm IBS implant is placed with distobuccal thread exposure and 3.2 mm clearance from IAC. With 3.5x10 mm drill less full length, the implant is placed a little deeper (10 Ncm). Bleeding spots created (Fig.3), sticky bone (cortical, fine granule) is placed (Fig.4 *), which is covered with PRF membrane and Colla tape. 4-0 PGA is used. There is no postop paresthesia. The length discrepancy is probably due to distal free end guide, which produces mesial placement of the implant. Try to make a premolar-sized crown. Use profile drill in uncover.
