According to our investigation, performing the osteotomy using the required drill length should have resulted in drill reaching the planned depth.However, due to the implant being changed for compatibility reasons, the prescribed implant mount resulted in the implant being placed 2 mm more apical than planned.The cause of the additional 1 - 2 mm of depth that the doctor observed could not be determined, and it is unclear how the doctor produced this measurement.

The doctor used the guide for implant surgery.The doctor was placing 15 mm implants at sites #29 and #30.After performing the osteotomy for site #30, the doctor measured its length (including the soft tissue), as being 15 mm.However, when placing the implant, it was 3-4 mm deeper than he had wanted.He does not believe the guide flexed at all, and thinks that the implant mount listed on the reference chart may have been 2 mm too long.The implant was backed out to the desired depth, and implant #29 was placed without issue.
