A 6x14 mm tissue-level implant is expected to be placed subgingival (Fig.2).
Because of the thick gingiva, the margin of restoration has to be prepared intraop (Fig.5 (illustration) red lines) after placement of an abutment (pink area). An immediate provisional (green outline) has to be fabricated to keep the gingiva from growing toward the margin.
