Pt came in with swelling and failing RCT with fracture. Pt has been dealing with it for 2 years. When do you forgo socket preservation? I am worried about any graft failing and may be better to go back in after infection clears up and extraction of tooth.

Thoughts?

That way I knew I was in the right spot and could adjust as needed clinically. Recently, like you, I have switched to fully guided for single implants as more efficient. For multiple implants, I still go back and forth between pilot guided, fully guided, or freehand.
