It would be better if a narrower implant (4 instead of 4.5 mm) were placed more lingually or there were < 4 mm implant thread exposure (Fig.9). Is it the best to use a longer implant to be engaged to the cancellous bone to reduce compression necrosis? The implant could be smaller (4.0 or 3.5 mm) and/or placed more lingual.
