When the affected tooth is extracted (Fig.3), the palatal wall of the socket is found to be unexpectedly low and the buccopalatal width of the socket is seemingly limited. A narrow bone-level implant (3.8x13 mm) and a wide abutment (5.5x5.5(4) mm) are contemplated. In addition, the crown of the extracted tooth will be shelled as an immediate provisional (Fig.4 C).
