To overcome the latter, a 10º 3x17 mm (15.5 mm in bone) implant is placed with 15 Ncm (Fig.4).  The socket gap is filled with allograft (Fig.5).  The microthreads of the angled 1-piece implant are buried within the socket (Fig.4) and later covered by bone graft (Fig.5).  This is a critical step for periimplantitis prevention.
