After the initial osteotomy depth (Fig.3 (1.5 mm drill in place)) increases by 2 mm, a 2.5x14(2) mm 1-piece implant is placed with insertion torque >60 Ncm (Fig.4).  Palpation indicates the native bone apparently wider than CT shows.  There is no sign of buccal or palatal plate perforation by palpation during osteotomy or implant placement.
