A 5.3x14 mm submerged implant is placed with insertion torque >50 Ncm (Fig.4). No. 1 sensor is placed superficially to show the implant at the crest level.
Two and a half month follow up X-ray shows minimal distal bone resorption (Fig.7). A smaller implant (4.5 or 5.0 mm) should be associated with less bone resorption.
