TA 3x10(4) mm 1-piece implant is placed with >50 Ncm; to reduce possibility of crown dislodgement from the implant, the retainers will be kept with modification of the proximal surfaces as shown by curved lines in Fig.4.  Periodontal dressing is applied after suturing.  There is no postop paresthesia.  The patient returns 3 months postop; after minor contour adjustment (Fig.6 red curved line), impression is taken.
