Following sinus lift with Vera Graft with autogenous bone (Fig.3 red *), a 5.5x10 mm implant is placed ~ 1 mm coronal to the septal crest and 1-3 mm apical to the surrounding crest (mesiodistobuccopalatal, >55 Ncm). After further bone graft around the implant (Fig.3 white *), a 6.5x4(3) mm abutment is inserted with the 3rd round of grafting (Fig.3,4 black *). An immediate provisional is fabricated to keep the allograft in place. The implant seems to have osteointegrated 5 months postop (Fig.5).
