The patient experiences one episode of light nasal hemorrhage a few hours postop. Although the patient takes Amoxicillin for 1 week periop, the implant at the site of #13 dislodges 1 months postop (Fig.5). Immediate re-placement with a larger 2 piece one is canceled because of mild infection mesiobuccal to the implant at the site of #14 (Fig.6 >). Additionally, the original osteotomy at the site of #13 is lingual. Once the bone heals, ostetomy can be changed.
