After placement of implants (Fig.4 I) and abutments (A: 5x3 and 3.5x3 mm, at #3 and 4, respectively), the remaining sockets are filled with Osteoplug, autogenous bone and Osteogen, followed by Collagen Dressing.  Since the wound is large (*), no prep is done intraorally to avoid contamination of Titanium shaving.  The 3 retention grooves on the abutment at #3 are fabricated extraorally (arrowheads).
