The implant at 2.5 months postop (Fig.4) seems ok with removal of the cover screw and placement of a healing cuff. Half month later, the implant is tender associated with unipost placement. The healing abutment returns. Osteointegration seems to occur at #18 seven months postop; there is no tenderness when a 4.5x3 mm abutment is placed (Fig.7). Provisional crowns are fabricated at #15 and 18 for progressive loading.
