If the immediate implant (5x20 mm, slightly longer than the length of the root) is placed within the confinement of the socket, the integrity of the loop will be probably not violated (Fig.4).
On the safe side, a shorter implant should be used (17 mm) if primary stability is still able to be achieved.
