New case: I removed the orthodontic screw and after 6 days I performed today the sinus lift. This cas has been approached with: - elevate kit distally with 2mm of bone height - BLACK ruby mesially to move the bone from mesial to distal - sinus elevation with Hyaluronyc Acid - implant insertion

use a contratorque screw and a square rachet, with pressure you can remove the implant with “zero” boneloss. only not useful when connection is broken
