What are your tips or tricks for making sure your implant is in the correct restorative position?
When placing Implants freehand, it’s easy to judge the mesial and distal angulation, but often tricky to judge buccal lingual orientation. Here’s what you can do to make sure you are in the correct restorative position – use the opposing dentition!
After my initial pilot/lance drill and each sequential drill, I articulate the patient. If I am placing mandibular posterior implant, I like to see the drill articulate with the palatal cusps of the maxillary teeth. If I’m placing a maxillary implant, I like to see the drill articulate with the buccal cusps of the mandibular teeth.

love it. I do the same thing for overdenture patients! This is specially useful if you don’t have the adjacent teeth for reference! Thanks for sharing man! 🙌
