A 6x14 mm tissue-level implant is planned to be placed in the septum (Fig.4).  Sequential osteotomy is finished in the septum with insertion of a 5x17 mm tap at the depth of 14 mm of the gingival margin level (Fig.5 T).  Due to misplacement of the sensor, the Inferior Alveolar Canal (IAC) is not shown (Fig.5).  With short implant design (Fig.4), there is minimal panic when the intraop PA does not show IAC.
