There is no infection around the implants 1 months postop (Fig.9). In fact infection mesial to #6 is more severe than preop (arrowhead). When the provisionals are removed for trimming, there is yellowish bone graft around the abutments, which is apparently not incorporated by the body (*). It is easily removed by spraying water. The margin of the abutment at #5 is subgingival; an abutment with a longer cuff should be changed next visit.
