integrity of socket was confirmed. Implant osteotomy was drilled to final
depth and diameter. A Nobel Active 3.5x10 implant placed in the adequate 3D position with a final insertion torque of 45Ncm confirming adequate primary stability. Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft was used to fill
the gap between the implant and the socket wall. No sutures required.
