A 5.3x14 mm submerged implant (Fig.6 I) is placed with insertion torque >35 Ncm.

There is minimal bone resorption at the crest 3 months postop (Fig.10 (H: healing abutment), Fig.11 (A: cemented abutment)).

Nine months post cementation (12 months postop), bone resorption at the crest remains minimal (Fig.12).

Bone loss appears not to get worse 22 months (Fig.14) or 3.5 years (Fig.16) post cementation.
