case_images: The implant site was prepared at the bottom of the socket according to standard procedures .A conical implant with an MP-1 hydroxyapatite surface (Tapered Screw-Vent System; Zimmer Dental, USA) was placed completely within the confines of the socket using the sterile surgical technique prescribed by the manufacturer (Fig. 2). After insertion the implant was first unscrewed and later screwed to control the torque between 35 and 50 Ncm and to permit appropriate passivity of the implant in the prepared site (Figs. 2 and 3).
