After extraction, a 7x11 mm tapered implant drops into the single socket, which is close to the Inferior Alveolar Canal (Fig.2).  The bottom of the socket is sensitive to manipulation (explorer) after infiltration anesthesia.  A 8x14 mm tapered tap is placed without binding, neither is a 8x14 mm cylindrical implant.  The implant stability does not increase when Vera (.2-1.0 mm) or Vanilla (.5-1.0 mm) Graft is placed.  Socket preservation is covered with Collagen plug and 6-month membrane (Fig.3). The patient returns for follow up 4 months postop; the bone graft appears to remain in the socket (Fig.7).
