When a 6x14 mm tap is inserted, the stability is high, while the sinus floor has yet to be reached (Fig.6).  The insertion torque of the same sized implant is >60 Ncm (Fig.7 I); a 5x3 mm abutment is placed immediately (A); the peri-implant space is filled with mixture of autogenous bone (harvested from osteotomy with reamers), allograft and Osteogen (compare Fig.6,7 *).  An immediate provisional is fabricated to cover the socket opening.
