Fig.8 (intraop occlusal view): An immediate provisional is fabricated at the sites of #2 and 3 (splinted).  The insertion torque of the immediate implant at the site of #2 is between 30 and 35 Ncm.  Splinting may help primary stability of the immediate implant.  No lateral force is going to be exerted on the gingiva-level immediate implant, since the clasps have been removed.

The partial denture appears to be able to be adapted to the provisional.
