Following adjustment of trajectory (as compared to Fig.3), a 7x11 mm implant is placed with insertion torque 60 Ncm (Fig.4 I). Yellow dashed line: the upper border of the inferior alveolar canal.

The new bone formed in the soft tissue region should be able to support the implant.

The implant remains stable postop.  Apparent new bone is forming toward the distal coronal threads 5 months postop (Fig.7).
