Fig.7: Five by eight mm Bicon implant is placed (I), approximately 3 mm apical to the crest.  After suturing, the implant is isolated from the oral cavity with reduced chance of re-infection.  The implant is about 2 mm from the upper border of the inferior alveolar canal (dashed lines).  There is void next to the implant (<), which will heal in 5 month.
