Although the patient agrees to have implants at #2 and 15, DB bone loss at #2 makes it difficult for implant (Fig.4). Use FC implant for primary stability. Insert a small piece of cotton pellet or healing screw and pack sticky bone around the implant before placing a temporary abutment. The latter will form a large gingival cuff, which makes it easy to place pair abutment without interference from the crestal bone. Screw loosening will be reduced.
