A 63-year-old man has lost #30 due to furca lesion for more than 10 years, while there is 2nd caries under #31 crown.   The symptom does not improve after sedative filling.  The patient suddenly agrees to have 2 implants to be placed (unexpected).  Existing PAs are used for implant design (Fig.1,2): 5x13 and 5x11.5 mm for #30 and 31, respectively.  Red dashed line: the superior border of the Inferior Alveolar Canal.
