One or Two Implants?

A 53-year-old woman returns for follow-up, requesting implant restoration at the sites of #30 and 31.  The edentulous space is ~14 mm mesiodistally (Fig.1), whereas a 6x17 mm implant was placed at #19 with ~13 mm space (Fig.2).  If the ridge at the LR molar region is wide enough buccolingually (3.5-5 mm Implant Positioners), place one implant (Fig.3, 4 mm Implant Spacer).  Otherwise, two of them will be placed (Fig.4).
