One or Two Implants?

After implants at the lower incisors, the 67-year-old man requests implants at #14,15 (Fig.1).  The mesiodistal edentulous space (12.31 mm) is wide one implant and apparently narrow for 2 ones.  If the ridge is wide buccopalatally, consider one large or normal-sized implant.  Otherwise use 2 of 1-piece 3 mm implants after mesial reduction of the tooth #16 (to 14.18 mm).  Make the reduction before CT and impression for guide.
