A 3x14(2) mm 1-piece implant is placed with stability; the first round of bone graft is apparently around the apical portion of the implant (Fig.6 *).  The coronal end of the implant has to be adjusted several times buccopalatally to accommodate the deep bite.  A 2nd round of bone graft following an immediate provisional closes the coronal space of the socket (Fig.7 *).  The gap reopens with implant mobility nearly 4 months postop (Fig.15), which is related to micromovement associated with the immediate provisional.
