To avoid truncation of the blood vessels toward the apex of the tooth #20 (Fig.2 black shadow and red line; Fig.4-6 (lab design) red symbols), a 5x10 mm implant will be placed more distal than the earlier design when the septum was present.  The implant is also to be placed slightly higher than the native bone to improve crown/implant ratio; i.e., equical to the buccal, lingual and distal crests (Fig.3-6).
