Since the pontic (Fig.1 #8) of the existing failed FPD has severe buccal concavity (*), socket shield is performed when #7 and 9 are extracted (Fig.2,3 *). Angled abutments are placed when 3.5x13 mm implants are inserted with guide. An immediate provisional FPD is fabricated. The abutment at #9 may be incompletely seated. Prepare new bone profile drills (DIO, two diameters).
