Place Implant Not So Deep

A 44-year-old man will return for 15 extraction and implant a month after the same treatment at #14 (Fig.1).  Since the bone density is relatively low (between 50 an 300 Units), osteotomy in the septum will be initiated with Magic Split for 7 mm (Fig.2), followed by Magic Expanders, Drills and Sinus Lift if necessary.  To obtain favorable crown/implant ratio, place an implant slightly apical to the surrounding crest (Fig.1,3).
