[Diagnostic / Planning] Huge Incisive Canal, no room for implant...graft the canal?
This patient has a huge incisive canal who lost her two front teeth in an accident. This case is beyond my skill level, but is there anyone out there who would graft the incisive canal?
She is currently looking doing a bridge, but was interested in 2nd opinions on implants.
The canines and laterals have been prepped for the bridge.
Thanks for any opinions.

Hi Jason,
Really hard to tell based on your images. I would have to see a cross sectional slice rather than cef or pan. However, based on your model of missing teeth, you have a big vertical defect as well. That is hard to overcome even for the best of us. If patient has a lower lip line and seeing as you have already prepped teeth for a bridge, I would say with a bridge. This case would involve a lot more than just grafting the incisal canal or grafting horizontally.
