With the 2nd redirection (Fig.6 (4.5 mm tap)), a 4.5x12 mm implant is placed with 50 Ncm and sinus lift (Fig.7 black *); bone graft is placed with emphasis on the palatal defect (white *).  As usual, an immediate provisional is fabricated.   In fact the abutment may be not completely seated because of contact with the mesial crest.  Prepare anesthetic and 5.5 mm profile drill or a smaller cemented abutment (in fact 4.8 mm is the smallest).  Take parallel BW or PA.  Take occlusal photos to show no buccal or mesiopalatal atrophy.
