Hello Docs,
Looking for some feedback and advices. #21 was extracted and placed immidate 4.1×12. I know I needed to go 2-3 mm beyond the apex, however, I didn’t have the correct length. The final torque was about 20 NCM. Bone graft was added and collagen plug and sutured with chromic gut. Please evaluate the radiographs and advise. When should I…

Everything looks fairly solid on the xray to me. I would follow up 4 weeks post op and see how things are progressing.

Update for those interested on the case I posted about not too long ago.
We went with custom milled locators from TruAbutment to angle correct. The case turned out really well!

The patient had these Astra EV implants placed by a periodontist. The plan with the then restorative dentist was CONUS attachments.
The patient left the restorative dentist and came to us. He no longer wants to do CONUS or a bar overdenture due to finances.
I was planning to…

you can scan cases like this, we have done it at our office plenty of times. if its an impression, its always full upper and full lower impression with bite registration including all the teeth. Try closed tray technique. what’s your restorative space here and choice of material?

Traditional impressions for the lab to scan if needed and bite with wax rim. I find that to be most predictable.
