Although the patient agrees to have implants at #2 and 15, DB bone loss at #2 makes it difficult for implant (Fig.4).  Use FC implant for primary stability.  Insert a small piece of cotton pellet or healing screw and pack sticky bone around the implant before placing a temporary abutment.  The latter will form a large gingival cuff, which makes it easy to place pair abutment without interference from the crestal bone.
