Pterygoid or merely tilted? It cannot be determined from a panoramic radiograph alone

that’s no petygoid your implant is well tilted but too anterior, besides, you have tons of bone, can place an implant more straight. good case anyway. congrats to your lab

We cant judge wether implant is pterygoid or not from opg , only operator know by getting high insertion torque , if you have ever used noris pterygoid implant you must know that you never get torque untill you hit pterygoid junction

I think according to you this must be pterygoid

Your second point enough bone for vertical implant placement I my experience maxillary posterior bone is not meant for immediate loading I can place vertical implants but to immediately load maxillary posterior vertical implant is risky for me
