Fig.3: The mesiodistal dimension is also limited (7 mm). A 4.5x14 mm submerged implant is to be placed, ~2 mm from the upper border of the Inferior Alveolar Canal (yellow dashed line). Bone graft is expected to be placed distobuccally (red circle).
If the patient agrees to have #17 extracted, #18 can be uprighted. The implant could be placed a little distal.
