Implant in Porous Bone

A 49-year-old lady is petit.  Bone at the lower 1st molar sites is either narrow or short.  Bone density at #14 is low (Fig.1 (CBCT coronal section): D3-4), since there is no cortex.  Bone expansion and condensation is required for primary stability (Fig.2: 5.5x13 mm UF implant).
