A 4.5x13 mm implant is placed palatal (Fig.8).  There is enough buccal gap for bone graft (*).  G: gauge in the implant well while bone grafting. 

The implant inadvertently lifts the osteotomy plug and the sinus floor (Fig.9 arrowheads).  Allograft has been placed around the implant (*) prior to placement of a 4.5x4(3) mm abutment.  Due to angulation, the implant appears to have been placed deep.
