Implant in Healed Socket

A 58-year-old lady had the tooth #15 extracted 3 months ago (Fig.1,2).  After local anesthesia, use hand and ultrasound scalers for #14 furca (Fig.1 *).  The sinus floor before extraction is pointed (Fig.2 arrowheads).  If the gingiva in the center of the socket is fresh and thin, use osteotomes for osteotomy.  Take PA preop so that the height can be determined.
