Thank you. I just ordered the penguin today to start doing isq as part of my treatment. 

When I placed the implants, I found her bone to be very soft. D3/4. Less than 20N torque.  So I put a cover screw. It’s been almost 6 month. I had to remove some bone to remove the cover screw :). I think the isq would be high. But I will see. Should I take the impression with a 5.0 or 6.0 coping?

And perhaps change the healing abutments to 6x5?

thanks

What is your rationale for splinting these crowns?   Bone quality appears to be good based on 2D imaging.  I would take open tray hex impressions but also use polyether as it is a free end case     In the past I would have splinted these cases as it was maxilla and free end    I think you may find that ISQ is high and going individual crowns is not contraindicated.   Just communicate with the lab about occlusion either way

6 by 5s would be better.
