Hello All,
I have placed 15 free handed implants so far but they have been on very straight forward cases with a lot of bone and far proximity of the sinus. This patient is a family friend and I would be doing the case for free. I’m contemplating testing my abilities with this case. It looks like I can sneak in an 8mm implant but may have to engage the sinus floor and really hug the buccal wall. Do you guys think I am at the stage in my implant journey to try this? Should I do it guided?

Well, that’s a decision. You definitely have to make especially with the family friend. Bit of advice is I would definitely charge even if it’s just a little bit. You don’t wanna get in habit of giving those away for free. You should be able to squeeze it in there, but you wanna make sure that you do not place it too far to buccal cause you need sufficient bone around that implant. If your system has a shorter implant such as a 7 mm obviously that would be more ideal in the situation and there’s a good chance. If you are more lingual, you’re gonna run into the floor of the sinus. You may have to break the floor of the sinus so you can place the implant there without it spitting in place there’s also drills out there that don’t end cut I can help you get closer to the sinus without And can help you get closer to the sinus without proofreading the membrane perforating the membrane.
