After use of the final drill (3 mm), the coronal Incisive Canal is perforated.  Following placement of a 3.5x13 mm implant and 4.5x5.5(4) mm abutment, Vanilla Graft is placed (Fig.5 *) to repair the perforation.  Retrospectively, the coronal end of the Incisive Canal is revealed at incision (Fig.1 *).

The bone graft appears to remain in place 2 months postop (Fig.8).  Impression is taken because of instability of the immediate provisional.
