Bury Implant Threads

A 64-year-old man will return for #19 extraction and implant.  Use IS drills with 10 mm stoppers until 4.5 mm, followed by 5x17 mm tissue-level tap (14 mm gingival level) and PA.  Make sure that tap and later implant threads are in the bone or can at least be covered by bone graft (Fig.2,3).
