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.
