The two implants (5x12 and 5x14 mm, Fig.5) are placed with >50 Ncm.  Cemented abutments are immediately placed (6.8x4(2) and 6.8x4(3) mm) to reduce suture tension (after autogenous bone graft and collagen dressing) and hold periodontal dressing in place.

There is crestal bone resorption 4 months postop (Fig.7 *).  It appears that for smokers, implants should be smaller, placed deeper and buried.  The implant surface should be better treatment.
