Following 4.8 mm MD, a 5x11 mm IBS implant is placed subcrestal circumferentially (Fig.6 with 50 Ncm).  *: distal socket.

Three months postop, there is no bone resorption, while the bone graft seemingly remains in place (Fig.9 <).  The distal socket seems to disappear.

Trabeculae form in the used-to-be distal socket 12 months post cementation (17 months postop, Fig.11).  In spite of this, the patient complains of mastication pain.
