Fig.6: Immediately post implantation (I, 7x17 mm), prior to bone graft. Primary stability is > 60 Ncm. A: abutment. *: peri-implant gaps.

PA taken 3 months postop (Fig.9) shows bone graft in the mesial gap (*). 

Due to insurance limitation, the patient returns 5.5 months postop for restoration. Bone appears to regenerate in the apical aspect of the mesial gap. The implant remains stable.
