The 3-walled defect is repaired with packing allograft mixed with autogenous bone and Osteogen (Fig.8 *) before and after placement of a 6.5x4(3) mm abutment (A).  The remaining soft tissue gap is closed with collagen plug before and after fabrication of an immediate provisional.

Organization of the bone next to the implant is different 2.5 months postop (Fig.9).

It appears that the bone graft becomes condensed and shrunken.   More bone graft is needed and should be more condensed (packed).
