Two of 3x14 (2) mm 1-piece implants are placed at #8 and 9 (Fig.3).
The patient returns with fractured 3-unit provisional 4 months postop. There is crestal bone loss, most likely palatal (Fig.11 ^). There is no sign of peri-implantitis. Use of smaller 1-piece implants may reduce bone loss (such as 2.5 or 2.0 mm in stead of 3.0 mm).
