A 6x14 mm tissue-level implant is placed with insertion torque > 50 Ncm (Fig.12; vs. <20 Ncm (Fig.7,10)) and improved trajectory. An immediate provisional is fabricated to prevent the mesial drifting of the tooth #15. By using the taps and placing the larger and longer implant, the sinus lift is more obvious (compare Fig.10 and 12 (*)). Sinus lift remains evident 3.5 months postop (Fig.14) with apparently osteointegration (Fig.15).
