After finishing osteotomy with IS guide and Tatum Tapered tap 5x14 mm for 11 mm (gingival level) free hand, a 5x11 mm Tatum implant is placed at #18 with >15 Ncm (Fig.1 (underprep should have been done)). Red line: superior border of Inferior Alveolar Canal. The implant at 2.5 months postop (Fig.4) seems ok with removal of the cover screw and placement of a healing cuff. Half month later, the implant is tender associated with unipost placement. The healing abutment returns.
