The coronal section shows that there is space (Fig.10 *) buccal to the graft (G).  A 2.0 mm pilot drill is used to create an initial osteotomy through the graft zone and in the beginning of the native bone (Fig.11,12).  Use bone expanders (Fig.13 E) to push (arrowheads) and condense the graft bone and close the buccal gap.  The apical portion of the osteotomy requires regular drills (Fig.14 D).
