Tip I am grateful to have been taught early by my mentor: Check Your Pilot Drill Angulation Early.

When placing implants, taking a PA X-ray of the pilot drill is a crucial step that’s often overlooked. This simple check can save you from a lot of headaches down the line.

Here’s a case to follow up on our immediate implant placement discussion this past Monday. I’m not a huge fan of having to do a fixed temporary crown chair side if I don’t have to but I want the benefits of it and not the risk of the patient biting into something that can compromise the surgery.
