After 8 months from the regenerative surgery, the implant was placed: (a) after the elevation of a full-thickness flap, the regenerated site showed an increased bone thickness with a considerable amount of new, clinically well-integrated bone; (b) the mini-screw used for fixation was removed; (c) the preparation of the surgical site was performed with drills of increasing diameter; (d) a 3.5 diameter × 13 mm length implant (NobelActive®, Nobel Biocare, Kloten, Switzerland) was placed in the regenerated site.
