Narrow Crestal Bone

When an incision is made, the crestal bone appears to be 3-4 mm bucco-palatally.  The osteotomy starts mesio-palatally (Fig.1-3).  Finally a 2.5x12(2) mm 1-piece implant is placed with insertion torque <45 Ncm (Fig.4,5).  There is minimal bone resorption 4 months postop (Fig.6).
