Following sequential osteotomy, a 3x14 mm 1 piece implant is placed at #10 (Fig.10: #1); while a 5x20 mm tap (T) is in place of #11 osteotomy, allograft and Osteogen is placed in the buccal aspect of the socket (*).   The advantage doing so is that the graft will not be inadvertently placed in the osteotomy.  Graft in the osteotomy may interfere with implant insertion when the osteotomy is oblique in the palatal wall.
