Since the tooth #4 and 13 are palatalized (Fig.2-4), the teeth #2 and 3 are mesialized (Fig.2 arrow). Besides, the ridge at #30 must be atrophic due to long termed edentulism. A small-diameter implant will be placed at #30 with premolar width (Fig.7 (lingual view)), while the implant at #31 will be placed distal (Fig.6 arrow, as compared to Fig.2).
