A 4.5x10 mm SM implant is placed with insertion torque > 35 Ncm (Fig.9). A cemented abutment (4.8x4(3) mm) is tightened for an immediate provisional.  There is minimal hemorrhage.  There is no sign of sinusitis 4 months postop (Fig.10).  The distal sinus floor appears to form 9 months post cementation (Fig.11 dashed line); there seems to be no crestal bone loss thanks to subcrestal placement (Fig.12).
