The 1 piece implant at #13 is removed, the apical 3 threads are cut off (Fig.6 <) and the remaining implant is re-inserted. The insertion torques of the 2.5 mm implants at #12 and 13 are < 35 and 15 Ncm, respectively. After adjustment (Fig.7), immediate provisionals are fabricated at #10 and 11 (later splinted with composite), while perio dressing is applied around the implants at #12 and 13 and the provisionals at #10 and 11. There is no nasal hemorrhage postop.
The patient returns for final restoration 3.5 months postop; it appears that the implants has osteointegrated (Fig.13). There is mild bone loss at the crest of #13.
