A 3x17 mm one piece implant is planned.  Osteotomy is created by a 1.5 mm pilot drill at the depth of 14 mm without incision (Fig.2); it is close to a neighboring incisor.  Go back to Fig.1: the roots of the neighboring teeth are convergent.   The depth of the initial osteotomy should have been shorter so that the trajectory would be easier to be changed.
