Placed first implant (#4) solo, 2 weeks later looks like it's failing
An update 4 weeks post op:
The PA looks a lot better and clinically the implant seems to be taking. The pt is continuing with CHX rinses. Unfortunately primary/secondary closure did not seem to happen.

Finally took the dive to plan and place my first implant in private practice, unfortunately it looks like it’s failing 2 weeks later.
Placed a 5.0 x 7.0 Hiossen implant at #4 site. Every thing seemed to be going well, undersized my osteotomy by 1x (3.5). Placed the implant to 40 Ncm. Felt pretty confident so placed a healing abutment. Sutured…
