Therefore a 4.5x9 mm final implant is placed with low torque. Following 4x11.5 mm drill, the torque increases to 20 Ncm. With insertion of healing screw, sticky bone (Fig.4 *: .5-1 mm cortical/cancellous allograft) is heavily packed around the implant (arrow), which apparently allows removal of the healing screw and placement of a 6x5.7(3) mm pair abutment without loosening the underlying implant. More bone graft is placed (Fig.6), followed by 2 pieces of PRF membranes.
