The definitive implant (3.8x13 mm) closes the apical space and obtains insertion torque >55 Ncm; a ball abutment with 2 mm cuff seems to be short for retention (Fig.6).  A 4.5x4(5) mm cemented abutment (Fig.7,8) seems appropriate for retention after soft reline of the lower flipper (Fig.9-11).  The socket obliterates 3 months postop (Fig.16).
