After Clindamycin treatment in the socket, a 3x14 mm 1-piece (dummy) implant is placed at #9, but found to be off in trajectory (Fig.5: a 2 mm pilot drill at #10).  After adjustment, the 1-piece implant is found to be close to the neighboring implant (4x20 mm tissue-level, Fig.6).  The 1-piece implant is later removed (with insertion of Osteoplug); the implant at #10 is used as an anterior abutment to retain the existing bridge (Fig.4 B) after reline (Fig.7).
