The patient is not satisfied with buccally-placed crown.  The implant is removed with bone graft 6 months postop.

With 4-5 month healing, an implant should be placed as palatal as possible.  The crest is ambiguous (compare Fig.10,11), the length of the implant being different.

IS has the shortest 1-piece implants (8.5 mm, Fig.10).  If 1.2 mm drill confirms the bone height at 12 mm, use DIO 1-piece implant (Fig.11).  The implant mentioned above are bone-level, whereas Tatum is tissue-level.  Although the total length of the implant is 14 mm, 12.5 mm is in bone.
