Fig.5: A 4x11 mm implant is placed deeper than the dummy one.  Since torque is 20 Ncm, a 5.5x4 mm healing abutment is placed (H).  Autogenous bone is placed around the implant/abutment junction, followed by collagen membrane and suture.  It will be difficult to restore the implant because of the deep placement.  Impression coping may be required.  Impression is taken 5 months postop with difficulty because of subgingival margin (Fig.7).
