Should be OK.. Close but not in the PDL. In future, when you have a tighter space and you are doing multiple implants, do the case fully CT guided. Takes the potential human error out of the equation as well as the worry out of your head when it comes to positioning.

Might want to use smaller diameter healing abutment #12.

The apical 1/3 of the mesial implant is close, but not into, the PDL or the root of the adjacent tooth. There is plenty of normal bone inferior to that area, so all should be fine long term. However, what is concerning is the apparent close proximity of the implants to each other at the crestal area. Tarnow and others have recommended at least 3 mm of crestal bone between implants, as interproximal bone is jeopardized when implants are too close together. Also, the location of the mesial implant will likely result in an undesirable emergence profile of the distal aspect of the crown, which leads to lack of room for a healthy gingival papilla, and plaque removal challenges. Based upon what is shown from the radiograph it might be wise to remove the mesial implant and do an immediate placement of another using a surgical guide to help ensure a more favorable positioning. This short term “biting the bullet” may help to ward off some unwanted future problems.

If the canine is not symptomatic I would not worry.

Mesial healing abutment looks like it is hitting the distal abutment and therefore not all the way seated.

This is not the right placement for two implants. Dr.STEVEN .T.CUTBIRTH,D.D.S has specifically in one of his videos that there should be atleast 7mm of space between any two implants,or else there will be :BONE LOSS, BONE RESORPTION,PERI-IMPLANTITIS ,LAMOSS OF ANCHORAGE,&MOBILITY IF THE IMPLANT along with Perio-related difficulties as well. Please remove the implant on the mesial aspect of the molar and place harvest bone to close the socket. Earlier the better. THANKU.Dr.BOBBY JACOB,DCI: REG NO:2604 A :INT'L M'SHIP ADA.

Are you sure it is 7mm not 3mm? I hope it is a typo. Cheer.

nobody has mentioned that with out a CT you really don't know .but usually an experienced clinician will aim the apex of the implant in that area to the lingual so in a 2 D xray it always looks close
