The implant at #14 is uncovered 5 months postop (Fig.7 (6.8x3 mm healing abutment)). The implants of #13 and 14 are close to each other, which is related to the slanted ridge at #13 (^). The osteotomy and the implant slide distal during placement (arrow). The implant in the slanted ridge should be intentionally placed mesial to compensate for the shifting. Or the ridge should be trimmed precisely; open surgery is necessary.
