A 7x17 mm implant is placed with insertion torque more than 60 Ncm (Fig.3 I).  Synthetic bone graft (Osteogen) is placed after implantation, because of oozing from the distal defect prior to implantation (D).  Hemostasis is obtained when the implant is placed.

The patient returns for restoration 12 months postop (Fig.7); there is apparent bone growth distally (<).
