Fig.7 (intraop occlusal view): A mixture of autogenous bone (harvested from reamers) and Synthograft (Bicon;  using allograft may decrease postop bony shrinkage) is placed in the shrunken buccal socket. The bone graft is then contained by an immediate provisional without use of collagen membrane or flaps.  The patient is doing well postop.
