The teeth #24 and #26 are extracted and replaced by 3x20 and 3x17 mm one piece implants, respectively (Fig.2). It is difficult to initiate osteotomy at the site of #24 because of severe bone loss and deep socket.  Incisions are made for direct vision.  Fig.9 shows apparent bone growth around #24 implant (at the crest) 6,9 months post cementation and surgery, respectively.  Fig.10 shows that bone grows coronally (arrow) to cover 3 threads (from #6 thread to #3) at the site of #24 one year after functioning.
