Following minimal use of Magic Lifter, Vanilla Graft is inserted (Fig.4 *) and a 4x9 mm dummy implant is placed partially. It appears that the implant is a little too long. After placement of more allograft (Fig.5 *), a 5x7 mm implant is placed with ~ 35 Ncm. With placement of a 5.5x4(2) mm abutment, an immediate provisional is fabricated to close the socket. Six months postop, the bone graft remains in the sinus around the apical end of the implant (Fig.6 *), while there seems no bone loss coronally (Fig.7). |
In fact there is, as shown later (Fig.8-11 < and lingual (L)).
