A 2-piece implant (4.5x17 mm tissue-level) is placed at #10 after extraction, while 1-piece implants are placed at #11 (3x17 mm (tissue-level, 15 °) and 12 (bone-level, 2.5x14 mm; Fig.4).
The patient returns for final restoration 3.5 months postop; it appears that the implants has osteointegrated (Fig.12). The bone has apparently grown into the threads of the implant, as compared to Fig.4 <). There is no crestal bone loss associated with these 3 implants.
