After undersized drilling in depth at #10 (2.2x13 mm (10.5 mm offset), Fig.1), a 2.5x13 mm 1-piece implant is placed with hand driver (Fig.2,3).  The implant remains stable 5 months postop (Fig.6).  The implant seems to be flexible before heavy occlusal reduction; note the periimplant micro-space (Fig.7).  The patient is a bruxer.
